The Haggadah is a Jewish book that is read on the first night of Passover. It looks like a Christian manuscript because it was made in the fourteenth century around the time of the Christian Gothic art. They have longer bodies and more intricate details and the artist was influenced by the Christian art that was taking over Europe. Visually the Golden Haggadah and the Arena Chapel both have a lot of darker blue, more of a tan-gold color for the people and other details, and the people all have a similar "long and lean" look. Thematically they compare because they are both telling of religious stories.
