summary

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.
ff. (24). Touch stained, few small marginal repairs. Modern patterned boards. Folio.
