He is the author of "Mishḥa deRabuta" (Oil of Anointing), a work containing notes on all four sections of Rabbi Joseph Karo's "Shulchan Aruch"[1] (Leghorn, 1805). He was assisted by his two learned sons, Solomon (died 1801) and Ḥayyim (died 1783), the former being the author of a similar work, "Kerub Mimshaḥ" (The Anointed Cherub), Leghorn, 1859.[2]
