With previous owners’ lengthy inscriptions and signatures in various Italian hands on the flyleaf and title concerning family history, deaths and inheritance of generations of the Fugaise family (dated 1759-71). The name “Moshe Chaim Luzzato” can be seen in square letters on the flyleaf although an attempt has been made to remove it. The Author, a disciple of R. Moshe Zacuto, was one of the foremost Italian Rabbis of the 18th century. He served in Padua and Reggio and is especially renowned as the teacher and mentor of R. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto author of Mesillath Yesharim. The present work of responsa was published by his son, Israel Benjamin, a Rabbinical scholar in his own right and a poet, who suceeded his father as Rabbi of Reggio. He included here some of his own responsa.
