This is the Hebrew edition of the classic scholarly Passover Haggadah edited by Daniel Goldschmidt and published by the Bialik Institute (Mossad Bialik). Its Hebrew title is הגדה של פסח: מקורותיה ותולדותיה במשך הדורות (The Passover Haggadah: Its Sources and History Through the Generations).
Alongside a carefully checked text of the Haggadah, a full introduction traces how the Haggadah developed over the centuries, and the editor explains the sources and meaning of the passages recited at the Seder. The book includes photographs of the oldest Haggadah found in the Cairo Geniza, sample pages from manuscripts and rare early printed Haggadot, and woodcuts taken from the Haggadah printed in Prague in 1527.
It is a valuable volume for scholars, teachers and anyone curious about the history of the Seder, from the time of the Mishnah through the Middle Ages.
