THE PRATO HAGGADAH
2006. Hardcover. 8vo; Full leather in custom slipcase with accompanying clothbound commentary. 14 x 21 cm 160 pp commentary. 1 of 250 numbered copies.<br> <br> Unbelievably rich and extraordinarily refined in its artistic decoration the Prato Hagadah was produced in Spain around 1300 C.E. with incomplete period illuminations and then with additions from the following three centuries. Folios 1-53 are in square Sephardic script while folios 54-68 display a square Italo-Ashkenazic script. <br> The haggadah includes 40 miniatures illuminated in gold and silver and 60 which are partially illuminated or only drawn. The Haggadah was featured in the Met's 2009 Exhibit "Pen and Parchment: Drawing in the Middle Ages." <br> <br> Scholars at JTSA note that “Nothing at all is known of either the patron or scribe of the Prato Haggadah and little is known of its whereabouts from the time it was produced in Spain around 1300 until the time it was acquired by the JTS Library in 1964. While the haggadah's text is written in accordance with the Spanish rite at some point additional text which included liturgical poems of the Ashkenazic rite was added most likely in Italy….A 1617 signature of an Italian church censor Giovanni Domenico Carretto is proof that the manuscript actually was in Italy at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Nothing further is known of the haggadah's history until 1928 when it was in the possession of Dr. Ludwig Pollak a native of Prague living in Rome." <br> <br> The art of the Prato Haggadah is witty and creative. It includes many initial word panels foliate ornamentation and hybrid figures. Several illustrations relate directly to the text. The Haggadah contains motifs common in medieval manuscripts and many folios reflect the artist's sense of humor.<br> For unknown reasons the manuscript's illumination was never completed. It is this unfinished nature of the work that allows the viewer to see the stages of production of an illuminated manuscript: the scribal arrangement of the text; the artist's preparatory drawings; the application of gesso to cushion gold or silver leaf; the addition of the leaf; the painting of a wide variety of pigments; and the outlining of the illuminations with ink. <br> The text of the Prato Haggadah is also distinctive. Although it includes the standard biblical talmudic and midrashic texts as well as the liturgical poetry common to other Spanish Haggadot the Prato Haggadah lacks all elements associated with the Passover meal. Kiddush blessings for matzah and maror instructions for the feast itself and grace after meals are absent. Scholars have suggested that Haggadot of this kind may have been written to be read publicly in the synagogue after which people would return to their homes for the meal. This phenomenon is found in other Spanish Haggadot and is explained by medieval sources as satisfying the requirement to recount the story of the Exodus for people unable to lead or attend a seder. <br> <br> Many Sephardic Jews immigrated to Italy following the expulsions from the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the fifteenth century often taking their manuscripts with them. The Prato Haggadah contains many textual changes and corrections inserted over several centuries. Though the Spanish or Ashkenazic sections of the manuscript cannot be definitively dated or localized scribal practices and liturgical variants provide a general overview of the history of the manuscript and its owners JTS 2010. <br> <br> Printed and bound as an exact replica of the highest quality of the 13th Century illuminated manuscript in appropriate leather boards and parchment-like leaves and housed in a custom slipcase. Included is a companion volume "The Prato Haggadah" 107 pages with color illustrations edited by Naomi M. Steinberger and with an introduction by David Kraemer with essays and bibliographical references. Limited edition of 250 numbered copies. A treasure to behold. hardcover

ARCHIVE OF FONDA FAMILY PAPERS
An archive of hundreds of letters bills receipts and other legal documents from the family of Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda dating from 1786 to 1880. This branch of the Fonda family traces its roots back to New York in 1651 when Jellis Fonda migrated from the Netherlands with his wife and four children. His grandson Douw Jellis Fonda 1700-1780 is considered the founder of the Dutch village now named Fonda about 30 miles west of Albany. He lived a long and prosperous life as a farmer and merchant but was killed at age 79 during a raid by the British Army aided by the Mohawk Indians.<br /> <br /> This collection includes two early hand-drawn property maps of some of the Fonda-owned lands. One of the undated maps completed for John Fonda shows part of Mayfield with lots drawn and numbered. The second map also undated shows acreage for the heirs of A. Fonda except 150 acres sold to John C. Smith and 100 acres sold to David and Samuel Loomis.<br /> <br /> The earliest material in this collection is connected to Douw Jellis Fonda’s six children and grandchildren following the American Revolution. They were leaders in their community serving as judges state elected officials and military officers. There are five handwritten legal documents signed by various members of the family related to the payment of bonds associated with the appointment of loan officers and treasury officials for Montgomery County between 1786 and 1792. At the conclusion of the war the New York Legislature passed laws placing taxes on land and personal estates of all inhabitants in order to defray war expenses discharge its debts and support the state government. Supervisors of each county appointed individuals to "superintend" the raising of taxes within their respective counties. These documents include:<br /> <br /> April 19 1786 three-page document signed by Judge Jellis Fonda on pages two and three concerning a 12000-pound bond for the appointment of Peter Schuyler as one of the Montgomery County loan officers<br /> <br /> May 9 1786 document of three pages concerning Jellis Fonda’s bond in the amount of 12000 pounds for the appointment of his son Douw Fonda as one of the Montgomery County loan officers<br /> <br /> January 8 1787 document of one and a half pages concerning Adam Fonda’s bond in the amount of 5000 pounds providing surety for Douw Fonda as treasurer of Montgomery County<br /> <br /> June 29 1791 one-page document signed by Adam Fonda and Douw Fonda providing 4000 pounds as surety for John Yates to be the treasurer of Montgomery County<br /> <br /> May 2 1792 document of two and a quarter pages signed by Douw Fonda Adam Fonda and John Fonda providing a 9400 pounds surety bond for Douw Fonda as a Montgomery County loan officer<br /> <br /> This collection also includes a group of documents associated with Henry Fonda 1766-1828 who fought in the War of 1812 and was appointed Brigadier General of the 11th Infantry in 1820. During 1807 1816 and 1819 he was a member of the New York State Legislature representing the Fourth Senatorial District of Tryon County. This collection includes two printed broadsides headed “Brigade Orders†issued by him calling regiments to rendezvous and parade “for military exercise and improvement†in 1826 and 1828. There are also 20 handwritten bills and receipts dating from 1792 to 1824 for various items he purchased ranging from flannel to gin and three holographic legal documents for funds he was owed. An additional four letters in the collection were written to Henry addressed variously as major colonel and general dating from 1813 to 1828. Among them is a three-page letter from Daniel Cockstock dated March 6 1826 contemplating the impacts of various new stage routes in the region.<br /> <br /> Another group of more than 120 letters receipts and other documents is connected to Henry’s brother Peter Fonda 1802-74 who was a merchant and hotel keeper ran a stagecoach for a period worked as a contractor and helped build roads in the community. There are several letters about his stagecoach work including seat reservations purchasing horses schedules and even lost luggage. On January 4 1832 he received a letter about Theophilius Williams’ lost trunk. “I understand by a letter from him that he left a description of it at your house offering five dollars to the finder which I will send to you immediately if found together with all accompany expenses incurred in the search and pay your bill for the same whether found or not if you will give your assistance†Levi Williams wrote.<br /> <br /> Among the letters is one from Peter’s wife Gertrude written to him in 1838 while he was in Rome building a bridge across the Mohawk River. “I want you to look out for yourself…don’t depend on others you may lose keep your people sober.†she wrote. A handwritten contract with officials from Rome dated January 1839 outlines the specifications for the bridge. He is also among a dozen men listed on a 1862 patent included in this collection for an improvement in pumps.<br /> <br /> A variety of other miscellaneous documents are provided in the archive including:<br /> <br /> An 1870 poll book for Fonda Montgomery County. The first eight pages are printed and provide a “plan of organization and action†to “effect change of administration at the President election of November 1872.†Voters names are listed on six pages with P.H. Fonda’s at the end.<br /> <br /> A printed receipt completed in manuscript issued by the state of New York treasurer’s office on April 9 1816 to Simon Vedder for Douw Fonda<br /> <br /> An eighth page handwritten receipt dated December 20 1790 received from Adam Fonda<br /> <br /> A one-page handwritten poem by Lavina Fonda dated June 9 1816 written on the death of a schoolmate<br /> <br /> A small note signed by Adam Fonda dated September 17 1838 requesting Peter Fonda pay $15 to Robert Bahanan<br /> <br /> A printed document with holographic notes for the lease of property dated October 9 1855 and signed by Aminta K.

New York: New York Protestant Episcopal Press 1829. Very good. Broadside 10.5 x 9 inches. Old folds foxing creasing and toning with substantial but irregularly-trimmed margins. An unrecorded New York broadside advertising the opening of the New York Protestant Episcopal Press NYPEP and related activities at No. 46 Lumber Street in New York City in 1829.

The text also includes notes about the business of the organization as well as notices to "Booksellers who are members of the Protestant Episcopal Church" and "secretaries of religious and charitable associations." In addition to their printing and binding work the broadside states that the NYPEP will take charge of the depositories of five New York institutions -- the General Protestant Episcopal Sunday Union the New York Bible and Common Prayer-Book Society the Auxiliary New York Bible and Common Prayer-Book Society the New York Protestant Episcopal Tract Society and the New York Protestant Episcopal Sunday School Society. The bottom half of the broadside is taken up with a listing of the organization's Board of Trustees "Other Managers" the general agent book-keeper printer William Van Norden and binder Christian Brown along with a postscript with details on various forthcoming publications by the press. William Van Norden was a prolific printer in New York in the first half of the 19th century producing more than just religious works.

SMALL ARCHIVE OF LONG SAULT ISLAND NEW YORK PROPERY DEEDS
A collection of 14 deeds and other property documents concerning land in and around Long Sault Island in New York dated between 1829 and 1955. These records appear to track the ownership and transfer of parcels which were ultimately purchased under eminent domain as a result of the construction of the Moses-Saunders Power Dam. In 1958 58000 acres of land between Iroquois and Cornwall were flooded. What remained is a group of 11 islands forming a chain from the hilltops of the inundated land now connected by the Long Sault Parkway.<br /> <br /> The documents show that among the property owners was Alexander H. Andrews who was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1868 from St. Lawrence County representing the Third District. Along with property deeds this collection includes Andrews' handwritten "certificate of election" along with a pass dated 1868 for the Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlain Railroad. unknown
