Calligraphic and rare signature of the son of the Hida. Ancona 1781.
The Gaon Rabbi Raphael Yeshaya Azulai was born in Jerusalem in 1743 as the eldest son of his father the Hid'a, studied with his great father and was one of the sages of Jerusalem. He went abroad on several missions and eventually lived in Amsterdam. When the Hid'a lived in Livorno, he met with him several times. When the rabbinate became vacant in the city of Ancona, the community leaders asked the Hid'a to nominate a candidate, and he hinted to them about his son Rabbi Raphael Yeshaya. The community leaders agreed, and the terms of appointment were written in the community register. In 1788 he was appointed rabbi of Ancona (Italy) until his death in 1826. And it is famous that Rabbi Raphael lived 83 years exactly as his father did.
