Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The lamps that appear in the fine panel in the 14th-century Kaufmann Haggadah, depicting the interior of a synagogue in the text, are indicative of a certain Middle Eastern connection (fol. 42r). This panel illustrates the morning prayer, which forms part of the Pesach ritual. (This practice – no longer followed – consisted of reciting the haggadah in the synagogue for the benefit of those who were unskilled in reciting it.) These lamps must have been quite widespread in contemporary Catalonia because they appear not only in other places of our manuscript (fols 1v; 6r) but in other Haggadahs of Catalonian origin too. In connection with these lamps it may be noted that they are characteristic of Cairene mosques of the Mamluk period – the best known among them are perhaps the splendid specimens decorating the Mosque of Sultan Hasan.
