From the Sotheby's catalog: These volumes were at one time the property of Nissim Samama (1805–1873), finance minister of Tunisia and qa'id (leader) of Tunisian Jewry between 1859 and 1864. After a long career as a textile merchant, Samama entered the service of the Tunisian government where he served in a variety of capacities. In October 1859 he was appointed qa'id of Tunisian Jewry and the following year he became director and chief revenue collector for the state. He was raised to the rank of brigadier general. In 1864 Samama left for Paris on an official mission to negotiate a loan for Tunisia. Samama never returned to Tunis and died in Leghorn in 1873. During his lifetime Samama contributed to the publication of several works of Tunisian and other rabbis, and also to the maintenance of a yeshiva in Jerusalem which bore his name.- Owner
