summary

Reggio (1784-1855) founded the Rabbinical College at Padua. His liberal views, which often did not conform to Orthodox tradition, led to polemics with other Orthodox Rabbis as well as his own father, R. Abraham Reggio who, in one particularly publicized issue, opposed his son’s permissive attitude to shaving on Chol Ha-moed. Isacco Reggio’s lengthy notes in the present work are independent treatises, at times refuting or supplernenting Modena’s views.
