Emerging in Spain after 1250, Jewish narrative figurative painting became a central feature in a group of illuminated Passover Haggadot in the early decades of the fourteenth century. This book describes how the Sephardic Haggadot reflect different visualizations of scripture under various conditions and aimed at a variety of audiences.
