Chessed Leumim. [Livorno, 1807].
A rhymed work describing the calamity which befell the Jews of Algiers in the early 19th century, following the murder of Naphtali Busnash, muqqadam (leader) of the Jewish community in Algiers, on 10th Tammuz 1805, and the ensuing disputes in the community. The work was written by friends of the Busnash family, against those appointed to succeed the murdered muqqadam.
