Isaacben Moses Arama c. 1420 &ndash 1494 was a Spain Spanish rabbi and author. He was at first principal of a rabbinical academy at Zamora, Spain Zamora probably his birthplace then he received a call as rabbi and preacher from the community at Tarragona , and later from that of Fraga in Aragon . He officiated finally in Calatayud as rabbi and head of the Talmudical academy. Upon the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, Arama settled in Naples , where he died in 1494. Arama is the author of A edat Yi a Offering of Isaac , a lengthy philosophical commentary on the Pentateuch , homiletic in style. From this work he is frequently spoken of as the Ba al A edah author of the A edah . He also wrote a commentary upon the Five Scrolls , and a work called azut ashah A Burdensome Vision , upon the relation of philosophy to theology also Yad Abshalom The Hand of Absalom , a commentary on Book of Proverbs Proverbs , written in memory of his son in law, Absalom, who died shortly after his marriage. As Talmudist and Philosopher Arama was the very prototype of the Spanish Jewish scholar of the second half of the fifteenth century. First of all he was a Talmudist . The study of the Talmud was of the utmost importance to him so that he lamented deeply when his rabbinical pupils could not follow him from Zamora to Tarragona, because the latter community was unable to support them. In the next place, he was a philosopher. The study of philosophy was so universal in Spain at that period that no one could assume a public position who had not devoted himself to it. Arama had paid particular attention to Maimonides but independent philosophical thought is hardly to be found in his work. His remarks ...

Aaron benJoseph Sason was an Ottoman Talmudic author born toward the middle of the sixteenth century, probably at Salonica , where he received his rabbinical education under the supervision of Mordecai Matalon , an eminent scholar. During the last decades of the sixteenth century Aaron benJoseph engaged in teaching, and some of his pupils ranked among the eminent rabbis of Turkey. With these, as well as with his colleagues, he maintained a lively correspondence on Talmudic questions, the summary of which 232 responsa was published at Venice in 1625 under the title Torat Emet Law of Truth . In the introduction to this work he mentions his commentaries on Yad ha aza ah of Maimonides and on the ur of Jacob ben Asher, as well as his treatises on various halakic subjects, which do not appear to have been published, and which are perhaps altogether lost. It seems probable that the work Sefat Emet Lip of Truth , which, according to the testimony of Shabbethai, Bass, contains scholia to the Talmud and to the Tosafot, was written by Aaron benJoseph and not by his grandson, Aaron benIsaac Sason . This prob ability is supported to some extent by the title, Sefat Emet, which corresponds with the title of his collection of responsa, as well as by the above cited statement in his introduction to Torat Emet, that he had written scholia to the Talmud.

Orphan date November 2006 Samuel benIsaac Ha Sardi Hebrew was a Spanish rabbi who flourished in the first half of the 13th century. In his youth he attended the school of Rabbi Nathan ben Meir of Trinquetaille , Provence , and later he returned to Spain , his native country. David Conforte ore ha Dorot, p. 20a derives the name Sardi from the city of Sardinia . Zacuto Yu asin, ed. Filipowski, p. 221a calls Samuel Ha Sefaradi so does Heilprin in Seder ha Dorot, i.216b, 292a in the Warsaw edition of 1883, but in iii.108b of the Warsaw edition of 1882 he designates him Ha Sardi. Samuel was a contemporary of Nahmanides , whom he consulted on Talmudical questions. Solomon ben Abraham of Montpellier , who in his implacable hatred of philosophy denounced the works of Maimonides and appealed to the Inquisition to burn them, wrote a letter to Samuel in which he speaks highly of his learning and reminds him of their friendly relations in their youth. This letter, one of the many that Solomon addressed to French and Spanish rabbis against Maimonides, was published by Solomon Joachim Halberstam in Kobak s Jeschurun, viii.98. Samuel wrote in 1225 Sefer ha Terumot Salonica, 1596 and 1628 Prague, 1605, with Azariah Pigo s commentary Giddule Terumah, Venice, 1643 , novell on the civil laws of the Talmud, divided into she arim gates and pera im chapters . In the preface the author mentions another work written by him, Sefer ha Zikronot, on the arrangement of the tractates and chapters of the Mishnah but it was not printed, and the manuscript is no longer extant.
