Haggadah

This Haggadah represents the text of a majestically illustrated Romaniote manuscript produced in the 16th century on the Greek island of Crete in the town of Heraklion. The island of Crete is one of the traditional Greek homelands, which has been the living place of Romaniote communities in Greece for several centuries. The Romaniote Jews since always formed the major Jewish culture on the island, which absorbed Jews coming from the outside in its history. This community has brought up famous scientists, religious and philosophical personalities like Elia Mi-Kandia, Yashar Mi-Kandia, Moses Kapsali, Elia Kapsali and Shemariah Ha-Ikriti. A great amount of works on Romaniote history and some about the Romaniote liturgy have been published in recent years. This work represents the first printed liturgical Romaniote rite Haggadah in modern times while it complements my Prayer Book According To The Romaniote Rite.
