Letter from Rabbi Shmuel di Modena (II). Mantua, 1653
Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Shmuel di Modena of Mantua, great-grandson of the Maharashda"m, to Rabbi Avraham Sulima, among the Venice rabbis.
Rabbi Shmuel was a son of the great sage Rabbi Shemayah b"r Moshe di Modena, son of the Maharashda"m. Rabbi Shemayah's father, the Maharashda"m's grandson, moved out of Salonika because of issues between him and the supporters of the city. He left the hometown of his ancestors, the rabbinic leaders of Salonika, and moved to Venice. In 1622 he printed his book on the Maharashda"m's sermons, Ben Shmuel, and there he relates the reason for their arrival in Italy. (Refer also to Koreh HaDorot 43b; Simonson, Toldot HaYehudim B'Duchsot Mantova Part II, p 499; Vinograd, Otzar HaSefer HaIvri Mantova no. 224, 226).
Regarding the addressee, Rabbi Avraham Sulima, refer to Divrei Shmuel section 19 and Mayim Rabbim A"H section 21.
