<<Important Kabbalistic Siddur.>> Contains the order of prayers for the entire year (including the Passover Haggadah) with the Kavannoth of the Ar’i z’l alongside commentary by the author. R. Raphael Immanuel Hai Ricchi (1688-1743) was one of the great Italian Rabbis, who emigrated to Safed in 1737 where he became deeply immersed in Kabbalah. He was murdered by robbers when he returned for a visit to his home country. Of note, he had earlier recounted a dream in which he envisioned he was a reincarnation of the Tana R. Yehudah ben Baba - who was killed by the Romans and was one of the “Asarah Harugei Malchuth.”
