Detailed
Description		    Responsa to Solomon Mikael Jonah of Torino by R. Abraham Azariah Ottolenghi (1776–1851), rabbinical scholar born in Acqui. When the French revolutionary army entered Acqui in 1796, he gave a public address on the significance of the tree of liberty erected in Acqui, as everywhere else, as a symbol of the new era. With the defeat of the French following the battle of Novi in 1799, Abraham had to flee to Genoa. After the return of the French in 1800, he returned to Acqui, and was appointed rabbi of the community, which position he held until his death. He wrote Shir li-Khevod ha-Torah (Leghorn, 1808).
