summary

The author’s son, Abraham Samuel Ricci, includes a biography of his father’s life as an appendix to this work. He describes his father’s journey to Italy and his murder on the road between Modena and Bologna, a fact dreamt by Raphael Ricchi in Jerusalem in 1740. On Ricci’s suspected Sabbathian sympathies see, B. Naor, Post-Sabbatian Sabbatianism (1999) pp.53-7
