THE PRATO HAGGADAH

313242006. Hardcover. 8vo; Full leather in custom slipcase with accompanying clothbound commentary. 14 x 21 cm 160 pp commentary. 1 of 250 numbered copies. Unbelievably rich and extraordinarily refined in its artistic decoration the Prato Hagadah was produced in Spain around 1300 C.E. with incomplete period illuminations and then with additions from the following three centuries. Folios 1-53 are in square Sephardic script while folios 54-68 display a square Italo-Ashkenazic script. The haggadah includes 40 miniatures illuminated in gold and silver and 60 which are partially illuminated or only drawn. The Haggadah was featured in the Met's 2009 Exhibit "Pen and Parchment: Drawing in the Middle Ages." Scholars at JTSA note that “Nothing at all is known of either the patron or scribe of the Prato Haggadah and little is known of its whereabouts from the time it was produced in Spain around 1300 until the time it was acquired by the JTS Library in 1964. While the haggadah's text is written in accordance with the Spanish rite at some point additional text which included liturgical poems of the Ashkenazic rite was added most likely in Italy….A 1617 signature of an Italian church censor Giovanni Domenico Carretto is proof that the manuscript actually was in Italy at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Nothing further is known of the haggadah's history until 1928 when it was in the possession of Dr. Ludwig Pollak a native of Prague living in Rome." The art of the Prato Haggadah is witty and creative. It includes many initial word panels foliate ornamentation and hybrid figures. Several illustrations relate directly to the text. The Haggadah contains motifs common in medieval manuscripts and many folios reflect the artist's sense of humor. For unknown reasons the manuscript's illumination was never completed. It is this unfinished nature of the work that allows the viewer to see the stages of production of an illuminated manuscript: the scribal arrangement of the text; the artist's preparatory drawings; the application of gesso to cushion gold or silver leaf; the addition of the leaf; the painting of a wide variety of pigments; and the outlining of the illuminations with ink. The text of the Prato Haggadah is also distinctive. Although it includes the standard biblical talmudic and midrashic texts as well as the liturgical poetry common to other Spanish Haggadot the Prato Haggadah lacks all elements associated with the Passover meal. Kiddush blessings for matzah and maror instructions for the feast itself and grace after meals are absent. Scholars have suggested that Haggadot of this kind may have been written to be read publicly in the synagogue after which people would return to their homes for the meal. This phenomenon is found in other Spanish Haggadot and is explained by medieval sources as satisfying the requirement to recount the story of the Exodus for people unable to lead or attend a seder. Many Sephardic Jews immigrated to Italy following the expulsions from the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the fifteenth century often taking their manuscripts with them. The Prato Haggadah contains many textual changes and corrections inserted over several centuries. Though the Spanish or Ashkenazic sections of the manuscript cannot be definitively dated or localized scribal practices and liturgical variants provide a general overview of the history of the manuscript and its owners JTS 2010. Printed and bound as an exact replica of the highest quality of the 13th Century illuminated manuscript in appropriate leather boards and parchment-like leaves and housed in a custom slipcase. Included is a companion volume "The Prato Haggadah" 107 pages with color illustrations edited by Naomi M. Steinberger and with an introduction by David Kraemer with essays and bibliographical references. Limited edition of 250 numbered copies. A treasure to behold. hardcover

ARCHIVE OF FONDA FAMILY PAPERS

73244An archive of hundreds of letters bills receipts and other legal documents from the family of Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda dating from 1786 to 1880. This branch of the Fonda family traces its roots back to New York in 1651 when Jellis Fonda migrated from the Netherlands with his wife and four children. His grandson Douw Jellis Fonda 1700-1780 is considered the founder of the Dutch village now named Fonda about 30 miles west of Albany. He lived a long and prosperous life as a farmer and merchant but was killed at age 79 during a raid by the British Army aided by the Mohawk Indians. This collection includes two early hand-drawn property maps of some of the Fonda-owned lands. One of the undated maps completed for John Fonda shows part of Mayfield with lots drawn and numbered. The second map also undated shows acreage for the heirs of A. Fonda except 150 acres sold to John C. Smith and 100 acres sold to David and Samuel Loomis. The earliest material in this collection is connected to Douw Jellis Fondaâ€™s six children and grandchildren following the American Revolution. They were leaders in their community serving as judges state elected officials and military officers. There are five handwritten legal documents signed by various members of the family related to the payment of bonds associated with the appointment of loan officers and treasury officials for Montgomery County between 1786 and 1792. At the conclusion of the war the New York Legislature passed laws placing taxes on land and personal estates of all inhabitants in order to defray war expenses discharge its debts and support the state government. Supervisors of each county appointed individuals to "superintend" the raising of taxes within their respective counties. These documents include: April 19 1786 three-page document signed by Judge Jellis Fonda on pages two and three concerning a 12000-pound bond for the appointment of Peter Schuyler as one of the Montgomery County loan officers May 9 1786 document of three pages concerning Jellis Fondaâ€™s bond in the amount of 12000 pounds for the appointment of his son Douw Fonda as one of the Montgomery County loan officers January 8 1787 document of one and a half pages concerning Adam Fondaâ€™s bond in the amount of 5000 pounds providing surety for Douw Fonda as treasurer of Montgomery County June 29 1791 one-page document signed by Adam Fonda and Douw Fonda providing 4000 pounds as surety for John Yates to be the treasurer of Montgomery County May 2 1792 document of two and a quarter pages signed by Douw Fonda Adam Fonda and John Fonda providing a 9400 pounds surety bond for Douw Fonda as a Montgomery County loan officer This collection also includes a group of documents associated with Henry Fonda 1766-1828 who fought in the War of 1812 and was appointed Brigadier General of the 11th Infantry in 1820. During 1807 1816 and 1819 he was a member of the New York State Legislature representing the Fourth Senatorial District of Tryon County. This collection includes two printed broadsides headed â€œBrigade Ordersâ€ issued by him calling regiments to rendezvous and parade â€œfor military exercise and improvementâ€ in 1826 and 1828. There are also 20 handwritten bills and receipts dating from 1792 to 1824 for various items he purchased ranging from flannel to gin and three holographic legal documents for funds he was owed.
