The First Hagadah Printed in Venice Abrabanel brought to his commentary on the Hagadah the same style that made famous his commentary on the Torah: a richly conceptual, if somewhat prolix approach. On page f. 1v. there is a poem by the author's son Judah Abrabanel (Leone Ebreo) in honor of his father Don Isaac Abrabanel.
