This book is based, to a great extent, on the Sepher Haaggadah edited by
Rabnitzki and Bialik. It comprises a selection of Talmudic and Midrashic
Haggadoth, arranged according to their subjects. The translation has in all
cases been made from the original sources, and an occasional note has been
added in order to draw attention to historical or archaeological matters of
interest.
The work is in no sense a complete collection of Haggadoth; but an effort has
been made to give some of the most interesting legends, interpretations of
Scripture, moral and religious parables and historical narratives, which are
contained in the Talmud and Midrash.
