Frizzi studied medicine at Pavia and lived and practiced at Trieste. He was not only a physician but was also considered to be one of the most outstanding Jewish scholars of the Enlightenment in Western Europe. Frizzi began the first Italian medical journal in 1790 and wrote a series of six commentaries on Old Testament sanitation and public health, two of which are bound with the present work. The remaining three were on marriage, pregnancy, and maternity. In this work, Frizzi comments on the Jewish dietary laws and prohibitions.
