This Haggada was written on parchment in square script by Joseph ben David of Leipnik, among the most important scribes of illuminated manuscripts in the 18th century, who illuminated at least a dozen other Haggadot. The date when the Haggada was written is clearly noted in the colophon at the end: 1733. The title page which notes the date 1752, is in fact the publication date of the printed Haggada inspired by it.
