summary

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.
ff.(24). Lightly stained, several leaves remargined, few lower corners repaired, illustration on f.10 repaired. Modern calf. Folio
