And it came to pass that Samuel, “a blameless and upright man, one who feared G-d and turned away from evil” (Job 2:3). The L-rd placed wisdom in his heart to learn and teach, to do the “the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments” (Deuteronomy 7:11) that the L-rd commanded by the hand of His servant. After this preamble the work begins to describe the activities and deeds of Polisi. Tipped in on the verso of the front wrapper is a letter from R. Cingolli to Professor Giuseppe di S.
