In Hebrew with Judeo-Italian, which is Italian but using the Hebrew alphabet (in this case with vocalization/Nikud/Vowels). 52 pages. Extensive repairs by master paper restorer. 26 leaves. 13.5 x 10.5 inches. The pages are longer than the scanner's platen so the images here are incomplete. The actual pages are complete. In 1609, a Haggadah of singular beauty was published in Venice by Israel ben David Zifroni, a printer and copy editor of Hebrew books in Italy and Switzerland. Dozens of woodcut illustrations of the Passover ritual, many executed as miniature vignettes, provided a striking visual imagery. [Inscription on top of title page:] Fig[lio] Azaria mio caro Dio mello possa guarire promessa e cosi sia Amen. The approximate translation is: My dear son Azaria may God heal him/ Amen, let it be, Amen The haggada, printed in three versions (Judeo-German [Yiddish], Judeo-Italian, and Judeo-Spanish [Ladino]), all using the Hebrew alphabet for the Yiddish, Judeo Italian and Ladino, proved very popular and was reprinted twenty years later, in 1629 and this is the edition offered here. Seder Haggadah shel Pesah. It includes Leone Modena?s commentary (Tzli Esh), based on Isaac Abrabanel's earlier commentary, Zevah Pesah. Among its visual highlights are a very attractive architectural border surrounding every page of text, woodcut initials enclosing miniature figures and scenes, and large woodcut illustrations placed at the top or bottom of almost every page, arranged in a biblical cycle that begins with Abraham and later focuses on the narratives actually recalled in the text of the Hagada. It includes the famous 13-panel illustration of the stages of the Seder, and the ten-panel depiction of the ten plagues, which became fixtures of illustrated Hagadot after their first introduction in the 1609 Venice edition. 10.5 x 13.5 inches. 52 pages. Title page and each page throughout with decorative architectural woodcut border. Modena's commentary first appeared in the 1629 Venetian edition; his commentary is printed within the architectural columns (alternating at times with the translation of the text). Yaari 41. Yudlov 55. Expert paper repairs, chiefly marginal, generally not affecting text or border, but in a few instances some of the commentary in the margins has some loss of text. Usual spotting and staining, signs of ceremonial use. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005717
