Shortly afterwards, the monastery's librarian sent the book to a Dominican friar named Erhard von Pappenheim, a Hebraist and expert on Jewish practice, and asked him to write a prologue. In response, Erhard wrote a remarkable treatise that is arguably the earliest quasi-ethnographic account of Jewish practice in early modern Europe and an extraordinary window onto a fifteenth-century Christian's perception of Jews and Judaism. \u003ci\u003eThe Monk's Haggadah\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a facsimile edition of the codex in color, a critical edition of the Latin text of Erhard's prologue, an English translation of the Latin text, and a translation of the Hebrew text of the Haggadah. Additionally, the volume's editors provide historical context, explore the codicology, illustration, and patronage of the volume, and describe its Christian theological background. An absolutely unique document, this Haggadah stands to change many long-held conceptions about Jewish-Christian relations in the late Middle Ages and early modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271063998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271063997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015","brand":"David Stern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50546065375487,"sku":"9780271063997","price":85.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57ac1308-b328-4398-85c1-af97d1a70725.jpg?v=1790535020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-monks-haggadah-david-stern-9780271063997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
