summary

R. Mordecai Samuel Ghirondi (1799-1852), was Chief Rabbi of Padua from 1831 until his death. Together with H. Neppi he composed the comprehensive bio-bibliography “Toldoth Gedolei Yisrael U’Ge’onei Italia” (Trieste, 1853). His marginal notes here display wide erudition, citing many other works and with his own original comments and corrections.
