Sefer Zera Shimshon – Segula Book for Meriting Children and a Good Livelihood. Mantua 1778.
Sefer Zera Shimshon, sermons on the Torah and Five Scrolls, by Rabbi Shimshon Chaim, son of Rabbi Nachman Micha'el Nachmani.
A Segula book for meriting children, a good life, and a good livelihood.
In the introduction to the book, the author explains that he called the book 'Shimshon's Seed' (Zera Shimshon) because his only son died, and he was left without children. He therefore named the book after his deceased son and promises: "And your eyes shall see sons and daughters like olive plants around your table, wise and prudent and houses full of all good, both wealth and honor will not end from your seed, until it is fulfilled through you that they will see the glory of Hashem".
Rabbi Shimshon Chaim Nachmani (1706-1779) was one of the greatest sages and Kabbalists of Italy.
He stood out as a preacher. He was also a poet. Some of his poems were printed by his students, and it is known that he composed a song in honor of the Ramchal's wedding.
Rabbi Shimshon authored many books, but ordered that they be buried with him, especially those which dealt with Kabbalah. The Chida mentions him in his book Shem Ha-Gedolim and writes: I heard that he was an expert in Kabbalah and that he ordered that all of his books be buried in his grave (See 'Shem Ha-Gedolim', Ma'arechet Seferim, #44).
His books have been reprinted in recent years, as a Segulah to be saved in various situations.
On Tisha B'Av 5539, Rabbi Shimshon fell and was injured, and died about a month later. In his will, he commanded that his money be dispersed among the poor, and requested that no one praise him, except by saying that he wanted to bring merit to the masses, to raise up students and to write true Chidushei Torah. All of the Rabbis of Italy eulogized him. He was buried in Reggio Emilia, but around 30 years after his death, the remains of all who were buried there were transferred to another cemetery, where the exact location of his grave is unknown.
