Academia Lishana.org - Kurso de Ladino Djudeo-Espanyol - The richly illustrated Haggadah was printed in Livorno, Italy, with dozens of woodcut illustrations and historiated initials. The text is in Hebrew with Ladino translation, from the press of Mosheh Yeshu'ah (1838). Hebrew printing in Venice ceased by the end of the 18th century when Venice was replaced as a center of printing by Livorno. While the Livornese Hebrew printers developed their own styles and typography, they freely borrowed from earlier imprints. Among the illustrations are the thirteen-panel stages of the Seder, the ten-panel depiction of the ten plagues, and one of Pharaoh bathing in the blood of Israelite infants to cure himself of leprosy--all originally in Venetian editions.
Purchased from London rare books dealer Samuel Gedge with the generous support of Gilbert Matthews, W,'70.
