Ma'asei Hashem. Passover Haggadah, Venice, 1583. First Edition. Pedigree Copy
Sefer Gedolim Ma'asei Hashem. Elucidations on the Torah and topics on the Exodus from Egypt. With the entire haggadah text and a broad commentary on the haggadah by Rabbi Eliezer Ashkezani. Venice, 1583. First edition of this important commentary that was later printed in many editions. Pedigree copy. Glosses.
Important, sought-after sefer: one of the first commentaries ever composed on the Passover Haggadah, and one of the first Passover haggadahs printed at all - and in Venice in particular.
Pedigree copy: The title page bears the signature of Kabbalist Rabbi Chaim Voltera and several comments in his script along the entire haggadah - including some lengthy ones. One of the glosses (133a) is a correction by its writer of the common text in all the haggadot: "וְנֹאמַר לְפָנָיו שִׁירָה חֲדָשָׁה הַלְלוּיָהּ" claiming that according to the Rishonim this is a mistake; it should be: "וְנֶאְמָר לְפָנָיו שִׁירָה חֲדָשָׁה הַלְלוּיָהּ" - a minor change in the vowelization of the first word.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Chaim Voltera.
