Bad Boy: Portrait of the Rylands Haggadah as Naughty Sibling

Marc Michael Epstein, Professor of Religion, Vassar College

The fourteenth-century Catalonian Rylands Haggadah and its "brother" in the British Library are nearly twins in that they were produced in the same place at nearly the same time, but they are far from identical. Learn about the unique religious and political agenda of this extraordinary Jewish manuscript. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Rylands Haggadah: Medieval Jewish Art in Context.
