Chazeh Tzion commentary on Tehillim authored by the great Kabbalist Rabbi Immanuel Chai Riki, Author of Mishnas Chassidim and others.

This first edition was published in Lvorno, 1742

Rabbi Immanuel Chai Riki (1688 – 1743) was a leading Kabbalist. He immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and established his Yeshiva and Beis Midrash in Jerusalem. In 1741 he set out to Italy in order to publish this present treatise on Tehillim, titled ‘Chazeh Tzion’. On his return trip he was brutally murdered by bandits after refusing to eat non-kosher meat. Following his death, a description of a dream he had was found among his possessions describing that he was a root of the Tana Rabbi Yehuda ben Baba who was one of the ten sages murdered by the Romans (harugei malchus).
