Ladino
Ladino was the Spanish-Jewish dialect spoken by Spanish expatriates who fled the talons of the Inquisition and founded Jewish communities in various countries. Many of these refugees fled to Italy where they founded a flourishing Jewish community. This Haggadah with its Ladino translation was printed on their behalf.
