DESPITE TYPICAL WINE-STAINS, AN EXCEPTIONAL WIDE-MARGINED COPY IN UNUSUALLY FINE CONDITION The publishers 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. The Ladino issue is particularly rare; very few 18th century Hagadoth appeared with Ladino translation at all. This copy contains the rare, variant colophon of 1739 as in N. Ben Menachem’s copy as noted by Yudlov
