SECOND HAGADAH PRINTED IN SOUTH AMERICA. The author was a native of Tiszafüred, Hungary. The book is replete with original Chasidic and Kabbalistic interpretations of the Hagadah and was issued by the author’s son residing in Argentina, Eugenio (Chaim Jacob) Villa. It seems the name “Weisz” was Hispanicized to “Villa.” This Hagadah had been considered by bibliographers as the first published in the Argentine capital, but an earlier one, from 1919, has been discovered in the possession of the YIVO Library, New York
