At the end of the Renaissance, a movement was afoot in the Italian Jewish comunity to introduce polyphonic music into the synagogue.   Led by the Jewish scholar Leon da Modena, the movement faced stiff opposition from those who asserted that such music was forbidden following the destruction of the Temple.   It was only upon a favorable ruling by the Venetian rabbinical assembly that the movement proceeded, and Rossi doubtless construed the favorable decision as his imprimatur to produce his collection.
