Leb Sameaḥ
editAllegri wrote a commentary on the "Sefer Hamitzvot" of Maimonides, in which he defended him against the attacks of Nachmanides. He published this work at Constantinople, in 1652, under the title "Leb Sameaḥ" (A Gladsome Heart) — referring thereby to his own name, Allegri. A number of his responsa were published under the same title in Salonica, 1793.[1]
