uwmspeccoll: Pesach Greetings! This holiday we present a 2000 facsimile of The Moss Haggadah published by Bet Alpha Editions. In 1983, American-Israeli artist David Moss was commissioned to produce an individual, hand-made Haggadah in the tradition of the medieval illuminated manuscript. Upon its completion, it was so well received by all who saw it that its owners, Richard and Beatrice Levy, graciously agreed to allow Moss to reproduce the work as a facsimile edition. Because the work, created on vellum, contained paper cuts, gold and silver, and many complicated features, research was begun on the project to see if a printer could be found who was capable of reproducing the look and feel of the work. In 1986, with the help of Martino Mardersteig of the prestigious press Stamperia Valdonega, 550 examples of this work were produced. Due to the overwhelming success of Moss’s facsimile haggadah, Bet Alpha Editions published this hardcover edition of the Moss Haggadah for the commercial trade. View our previous Passover posts.
