summary

The publisher simultaneously printed three issues of this Passover Hagadah, all identical with the same layout and illustration cycle - differing only in choice of vernacular translation. Although the title-page of the present issue states that the text has been translated “Belashon Ashkenazim” (Judeo-German), both Yaari and Yudlov note it is actually Judeo-Italian that is provided - the difference being in the Nusach to the Birchath-Hamazon.

ff. (26). Light wear, crude taped repairs, occasional loss of text, usual wine stains. Later boards. Folio
