[Bombay printing] [Hagadah]

Seder Hagadah, 1846. Bombay. Abraham Jemal.
The first Hagadah with Marathi translation

Extremely rare illustrated Hagadah printed in Bombay, the first to include a Marathi translation, the indigenous language of the Bene Israel Community of India, and an exotic illustrated Passover Hagadah. The work is lithographed throughout and contains a very peculiar, yet naïve, set of illustrations.
