Ms. codex. Black & brown iron gall ink. Fol. 23v (conjugate with fol. 18), foliated 1 in ink, following the invocation, ב[עזרת] ה[שם], has the poetic resume of the seder, beginning: קדש ורחץ כרפס יחץ (the latter typically placed at the beginning of the Seder). Fol. 23v (conjugate with fol. 18), foliated 1 in ink, following the invocation, B.H., has the poetic resume of the seder, beginning: Ḳadesh u-reḥats karpas yaḥats (the latter typically placed at the beginning of the Seder). Copied "by Abraham Farissol in 1515 for Joseph b. Mordecai Judah of Norzi, with illustrations attributed by Fairfax and Murray and Olschki to Bonifacio il Giov[a]ne Veneziano" (Adler, Catalog, op. cit. below); Bonifacio Veneziano lived, ca. 1525-ca. 1579, and E. Cohen, op. cit. below, p. 89, n.9 points out that they may have intended Bonifazio dei Pitati=Bonfazio Veronese, 1487-1533 (although the identification of the artist is not certain), and Cohen also stipulates that Farissol himself may have executed the illustration for הא לחמא עניא on fol. 5r and another unfinished one at the bottom of the page. Colophon (fol. 21v): "נשלם ע"י אברהם פריצול י"ץ, כ"א מרחשון רע"ו, פה פירארא אל הידיד החשוב הר' יוסף מנורצי יצ"ו בר' מרדכי יהודה נ"ע, אאיב"ע תת"ב, בנל"ך, לשנה הבאה בירושלם, אמן, תם תל"ח." Colophon (fol. 21v): Nishlam ʻa.y. Avraham Faritsol y.t.s, 21 Marḥeshṿan 276, poh Firara el ha-yedid he-ḥashuv ha-r. Yosef mi-Nortsi y.ts.ṿ. b.r. Mordekhai Yehudah n.ʻa, ... Contains two censors notes, the first dated 1601 (fol. 21v) Lost before E. N. Adler sold his collection to JTS, it was immediately sent there when found in 1937. In a letter to A. Marx, 14 Dec. 1937, now housed with the ms., Adler provides background to the Haggadah and his acquisition thereof in 1890; penciled on the verso is the notice, "belongs to no. 12, ENA 2064." It is not clear how that note relates to this ms. (ENA 2064, which had an old JTS Library shelf location in the ENA Catalog handwritten index, has not since been located.)
