summary

The House of Bragadin simultaneously printed three issues of this Passover Hagadah, all identical with the same lay-out and illustration cycle - differing only in choice of vernacular translation: Yiddish, Judeo-Italian and Ladino. This Ladino issue is particularly rare as so very few 17th-century Hagadoth appeared with Ladino translation.

ff. (24). Stained, closely shaved, paper repairs on title and several additional leaves, few lower corners repaired with some text affected. Recent calf-backed marbled boards. Folio.
