Haggadot in Their Time with Rabbi David Sedley: Episode 2
The Birds’ Head Haggadah: In this class we look at the earliest illuminated haggadah, known as The Birds’ Head Haggadah, because many of the people in the illustrations appear to have birds’ heads.
We will address a number of issues, including
Why do most of the people in the Haggadah not have human heads?
Why do they have birds’ heads?
Why do some of them wear funny hats?
What is the historical context of this Haggadah?
