The first printing press in the city of Buda [Ofen] to specialize in the publication of Hebrew books was established only in 1814 as an independent division of the University Press in Buda. In 1821, the year this Haggadah was issued, the University Press changed over to the modern printing method of a stereotype - a method trumpeted in Hebrew on the title page of the present Haggadah. A little over a decade after this Haggadah was published it became the property of a woman who proudly proclaimed her ownership by affixing a decorative label to the front cover. She declares that this volume is the property of Trendel Leib, 1835.
