 ===The Second Nuremberg Haggadah===
 The Second Nuremberg [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggadah Haggadah]is a liturgical manuscript for Passover. It was produced mid-fifteenth-century [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi Ashkenaz]. From the mid-nineteenth century until 1957, it was housed in the City Library of Nuremberg. In 1957, it became part of the Schocken Collection until 2004, when it was bought by David Sofer of London.
 Its decoration is compound. There are ritual depictions as well as biblical narratives enriched with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midrash midrashic] material.

 There are lots of animals depicted throughout the manuscript. They are placed in the lower margin, or constitute parts of architectural structures--just as the above mentioned pigs. Their function is merely decorative<sup>1</sup> Most of these animal motifs derive from playing cards which were popular in Upper- and Middle-Rhein regions during the fifteenth century. However, pigs do not appear on these playing cards. According to Joseph Gutmann, they might have a deeper meaning expressing a sort of warning against drinking to much and getting into the condition of "pigishness of Jewry's tormentors."<sup>2</sup>
