Pnei David, commentary on the Torah and commentaries of the Rishonim (printed for the first time from manuscripts), by Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulay - the Chida. Livorno, 1792. First edition printed by the author.
Glosses signed in an Oriental handwriting, by several writers: Five glosses signed "M.A.Y.N. [Moshe Azulay Yair Nero] - Rabbi Moshe Azulay of Ancona, (1787-1853), author of Zichron Moshe and Lechem min HaShamayim - Ruach Chaim, son of Rabbi Refael Yeshaya, son of the Chida and Rabbi of Ancona. Before he was born, his grandfather the Chida predicted the birth of a son who will be named Moshe, the seventh generation of Rabbi Avraham Azulay (author of Chesed L'Avraham), just as Moshe Rabbeinu was a seventh generation descendent of Avraham Avinu. [He was very beloved by his grandfather, the Chida, who refers to him in his letters with love and respect]. He used to sign his name "M.A.Y.N" (Moshe Azulay Ya'ir Nero). The handwriting of this manuscript is identical to Rabbi Moshe's handwriting, and his style of writing is characteristic of the other books authored by Rabbi Moshe Azulay].
Two glosses in the tiny handwriting of Rabbi Masud Chermon, one signed "HaMetzitz" [HaTza'ir Masud Chermon Yishmerehu Tzuro. Rabbi Mas'ud Chermon (died 1866), Ra'avad and teacher in Wahran (Algeria), see: Malchei Yeshurun, page 104]. Two more glosses by other writers, one signed "Shevach" and the other "A.G.Y.N.".
