For four years in the middle of the sixteenth century (1558-1562), a Hebrew press was active in the northern Italian town of Riva del Garda (Riva di Trento). The press owed its unusual success to the cooperation of three men: Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo, who as the Bishop of Trent, who had jurisdiction over the town; Rabbi Joseph ben Nathan Ottolenghi, a learned Rosh Yeshiva from Cremona; and Jacob Marcaria, a dayyan and physician. The liberal Cardinal Madruzzo granted the privilege of printing Hebrew books to Joseph Ottolenghi, however, Jacob Marcaria was the actual printer. Marcaria was the guiding force behind the press and apparently served as the editor for almost all of the books, designing and drafting the title pages and writing prefaces for many of the works. For this Haggadah, the scholar-printer Marcaria wrote a seven page commentary to the Seder, which is printed at the beginning of the volume.\n\nThis Haggadah also contains Isaac Abrabanel\u2019s extraordinarily popular commentary, Zevah Pesach. Abrabanel\u2019s elucidation of the Haggadah was first published during his lifetime in Constantinople in 1505. The second edition appeared in Venice, 1545. The third edition was produced in Cremona in 1557, and thereafter it was published in this Riva di Trento volume.\n\nIt is very significant that all the Hebrew books printed in Riva di Trento were produced under \u2028the patronage of a Cardinal of the Church. In many of the publications, an image of the Cardinal\u2019s coat-of-arms appears on the title page. In this Haggadah however, Madruzzo\u2019s support is prominently noted in Hebrew on the title page.\nAfter the death of Jacob Marcaria in 1562, the activity of the Hebrew press in Riva di Trento ceased and Joseph ben Jacob Shalit, who had been Marcaria\u2019s proofreader, took some of the unfinished works to Venice and had them printed there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
