Algazi authored "Bene Ḥayyai" (Sons of My Life), containing notes and novellæ in the sequence of the Arba'ah Turim. It was edited by the author's pupil, Meir Danon, and published at Orthokoi (near Constantinople) in 1712. Appended to it are the author's "Chiddushim," miscellaneous notes on Shevu'ot, Sanhedrin, Gittin, etc., edited by Hayyim ben Isaac Raphael Alfandari.[1][2]
