Dei Rossi appended to some copies of the Me'or Enayim an answer to the criticisms of Moses Provençal, and a dissertation entitled Tzedek Olamim, in which latter he refuted the arguments of Isaac Finzi. Later he wrote a special work entitled Matzref la-Kesef (published by Hirsch Filipowski at Edinburgh, 1854, and included by Zunz in the Vilna edition of the "Me'or"), in which he defended his "Yeme 'Olam" against its critics. Dei Rossi, however, also had to contend with those who considered his "Me'or 'Enayim" as a heretical work.
Dei Rossi responded to criticisms of the Me'or Enayim by Moses Provençal, and wrote a dissertation called Tzedek Olamim, which refuted Isaac Finzi's objections. He also penned a separate work, Matzref la-Kesef (published in 1854), defending his "Yeme 'Olam" against criticism. Dei Rossi faced challenges from those who viewed his Me'or Enayim as unorthodox.
