An extensive commentary to Shulchan Aruch on the laws of the Festivals. The author cites his mentor numerous times (Mori VeRabi) as well as other seemingly unpublished commentaries (R. Shmuel Sha’ar Aryeh). R. Yitzhak Vali (d. 1680) served as Rabbi of Modena during the 17th century. Shem HaGedolim (no. 10743) cites R. Moshe Zacuto who stated that the two main pillars of Halachah in Italy of the time were R. Samuel Aboab and R. Isaac Vali of Modena.
