summary

Although the title states that it was translated “Belashon Ashkenazim” (Judeo-German), both Yaari and Yudlov note that it is actually Judeo-Italian. The commentary found in this Hagadah, “Tzeli Esh,” is an abbreviated version of Don Isaac Abrabanel’s voluminous commentary “Zevach Pesach,” edited by Leon de Modena
