The House of Bragadin simultaneously printed three issues of this Passover Hagadah, all identical with the same lay-out and illustration cycle - differing only in choice of vernacular translation: Yiddish, Judeo-Italian and Ladino. The Ladino issue is particularly rare, so very few 17th century Hagadoth appeared with Ladino translation.
