A 287-year-old manuscript handwritten in Hebrew and found in a cardboard box in a North Manchester garage, is to be auctioned this morning. The 18th Century richly illuminated Haggadah, used by Jews during the first two nights of Passover, is expected to fetch a six-figure sum at Adam Partridge Auctioneers in Macclesfield when it goes under the hammer in a major sale of antique Jewish books and silver.
