The Venice Haggadah of 1629 is one of the most beautiful Haggadot ever printed. The present edition was commissioned by Moses ben Gershon Parenzo, the last of three generations of Hebrew printers, and issued at the Bragadini press. This Haggadah appeared simultaneously in three versions with translations in Judeo-German (Yiddish), Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), and Judeo-Italian, the three primary languages of the Jewish communities living in Venice at the time.
