Description from the seller

Haggadah – The Passover Tale
Translated and annotated by Dr. Leó Singer, Rabbi of Várpalota (Hungary)
Second revised edition, undated (circa 1920)
Published by Schlesinger József, Budapest
With more than 10 full-page and double-page colour illustrations.
Hebrew–Hungarian bilingual liturgical text throughout.

Provenance: Ownership stamp of Anton Rosenzweig, Rabbi of Cluj/Kolozsvár (Transylvania, then Historical Hungary, today Romania).

A finely produced Hungarian Haggadah, translated and explained by Dr. Singer. This second revised edition blends traditional Passover liturgy with clear, accessible commentary, characteristic of early-20th-century Hungarian Jewish scholarship. The numerous colour plates add a vivid visual richness, rare for regional Haggadot of the period.

Condition: Good, used copy with light age-related wear. Some scattered staining, likely from regular holiday use. Covers worn; spine starting. The colour plates remain bright and well-preserved.

A graceful and richly illustrated Hungarian Haggadah—collectible for both Judaica and Central-European printing history.
