The Legends of the Jews
By Louis Ginzberg
[1909]
This is a massive collation of the Haggada--the
traditions which have grown up surrounding the Biblical narrative.
These stories and bits of layered detail
are scattered throughout the Talmud and the Midrash, and other sources,
including oral.
In the 19th century Ginzberg undertook the task of arranging
the Haggada into chronological order,
and this series of volumes was the result.
