The House of Bragadin simultaneously printed three issues of this Passover Hagadah, all identical with the same layout and illustration cycle - differing only in choice of vernacular translation: Yiddish, Judeo-Italian and Spanish (i.e. Ladino). <<This Ladino issue is particularly rare>> , indeed few 18th century Hagadoth appeared with Ladino translation at all.
