Description		    Bi-lingual Hebrew-Italian verse in honor of the dedication of a Sephardic synagogue that occurred on 25 Elul 5636 (Thursday, September 14, 1876). The verso of the title page names the author as R. David Abraham Hai א"לו, most likely R. David Abraham Vivanti. The verse in comprised of fourteen quatrains in facing Hebrew and Italian. The first stanza begins “this day on which is dedicated our holy house,” “Giunta è l’ inaugural festa aspettata . . .” R. David Abraham Vivanti (1806–1876), Italian rabbi. Born in Ancona, Vivanti came from a well-known Italian-Jewish family, originally from Mantua, which had settled in Ancona in the first half of the 18th century. When still a youth, he was ordained as a rabbi and appointed to the bet din at Ancona, and in 1840 became rabbi of the community. R. Vivanti wrote commentaries on the Pentateuch and Psalms, both of which are unpublished. His annotations to the Shulhan Arukh, arranged in alphabetic order and containing halakhic decisions both of his own and earlier authorities, and annotations to the Sefer ha-Hinnukh (according to the Venice edition of 1600), together with a kinah composed by him for the 24 martyrs of Ancona and some homilies, were published by H. Rosemberg, Kezat mi-Kitvei.... David Avraham Hai (1932); and in Italian Saggio degli Scritti degli Rabbini David Abraham Vivante (1929).
