Description		    Rare manuscript of a never published work by R. Immanuel Ricchi b. Isaac Ben Zion. Written in a very fine hand, Makkat Bakkurot is critical glosses and annotations to the Tosefet Bikkurei Kazir of R. Phinehas Hai Ben Menahem Anau (Piattelli). R. Anau was a student of R Isaac Lampronti (Pahad Yizhak), the latter publishing in Venice a periodical containing the halakhic rulings of his pupils. The second number, entitled Tosefet Bikkurei Kazir, included a ruling by Anau deciding in favor of the Ashkenazi custom of stressing the words of the Priestly Blessing on the last syllable and against the view of R. Nehemiah ha-Kohen and his followers who wished to stress the words on the penultimate syllable. R. Nehemiah regarded this ruling as a personal insult and complained about R. Anau to R. Mordecai Zahalon. The latter, who refused to recognize R. Isaac Lampronti as chief rabbi of Ferrara, came to the defense of R. Nehemiah in his work Meziz u-Meliz (Venice, 1715) which deplored the insult to R. Nehemiah and denigrated all those rabbis, including R. Lampronti, who supported R. Phinehas Hai Anau's ruling. The title page of Makkat Bakkurot refers to this dispute, naming several of the participants, Tosefet Bikkurei Kazir, and the Priestly Blessing.
