Professor Adam S. Cohen’s exploration of the history of the illustrated haggada, the most illustrated book in Jewish history, has been featured in the Faculty of Arts & Science’s Spring 2018 Alumni News.

Focusing on examples from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Modern period and contemporary times, the book reproduces each picture in full color, alongside short descriptions that explore the meaning of the imagery, the achievement of the artist, and the larger context in which the book was produced.
