Aaron benMoses Teomim was a Czech Polish rabbinical scholar born about 1630, probably in Prague, where the Teomim Fr nkel family, from Vienna , had settled died in Chmelnik , Poland, July 8, 1690. In 1670 he was called as rabbi to Worms, where he succeeded Samson Bacharach . Prior to this he had been a preacher at Prague. In a serious illness which overcame him on Passover evening, 1675 he vowed he would write a commentary on the Haggadah if he should be restored to health. On his recovery he published this commentary under the title Ma eh Aharon Aaron s Rod , Frankfort on the Main, 1678. Another work, Bigde Aharon Aaron s Vestments , homilies on the Pentateuch, was published after the author s death at Frankfort on the Main, 1710. His Glosses on Shul an Aruk, oshen Mishpa remained in manuscript. Responsa of his are found in the collections of Jair ayyim Bacharach, awwot Yair, and in those of Eliakim Goetz b. Meir of Hildesheim, Eben ha Shoham. In 1677 Aaron received a call to Lissa in Poland, which he declined but in 1690 he accepted a call to the rabbinical seat of Cracow . He was there but three months when a Polish nobleman, probably in order to blackmail the congregation, ordered his arrest in Chmelnik, whither he had gone to attend the congregational Meeting of the Four Lands Arba Ara ot . On Sabbath, July 8, 1690, he was arrested, placed on horseback, and hurried to prison. He fell off the horse several times and was as often remounted. Before the jail was reached he had died of fright and ill treatment. He was buried at Pintchov . As a character and as a rabbinical scholar, Aaron Teomim did not rise above the level of his contemporaries. In his rabbinical works, Teomim is a typical Pilpulist. His scholastic discourses are in accordance with the vogue of that age. That his theories, as exhibited in his treatment of the Haggadah , were appreciated by his contemporaries, is proved by the fact that his Haggadah was reprinted three times at Amsterdam , in 1695 ... more details

Aaron Mosesben Mordecai was one of the few cabalistic writers of East Prussia author of a work, Nishmat Shelomoh Mordecai The Soul of Solomon Mordecai Johannisberg, 1852 , so called in remembrance of his son, who died in early childhood. On the title page the statement is made that the work is a commentary on M. . Luzzatto s o er u Me ubbal indeed the text of this treatise is printed in the volume. Aaron used the name of Luzzatto merely to give greater vogue to his own book, because of the waning influence of the Cabala in Poland at the time. In reality, Aaron s work is a commentary on the E ayyim of ayyim Vital, the arch apostle of the cabalistic school of Luria. Aaron Moses states l.c. p. 46a that he was the author also of a commentary on the Midrash Tan uma, entitled Zebed ob A Goodly Gift . This has not been printed.

Aaron benIsaac Sason was an Ottoman author and Talmudist born in Constantinople in 1629. He was a grandson of Aaron ben Joseph Sason, an eminent Talmudist, and cousin of ayyim Benveniste , the famous scholar. Aaron Cupino , rabbi of Constantinople, was his teacher in Talmudic lore, and was so successful that at the age of twenty his pupil engaged in Talmudic controversies with Moses Benveniste, who thought them worthy of publication. The great Palestinian Pilpulist, Judah Rozanes , referred with respect to an unpublished work, Hen Yeshalla , by R. Aaron. Whether the work Sefat Emet should be credited to R. Aaron or to his grandfather, Aaron ben Joseph , is uncertain. The latter is more probably its author. Shabbethai Bass, the only writer who mentions that particular book, in his Sifte Yeshenim, throws no light on this question, merely mentioning that it is by Aaron Sason.

Mosesben Mordecai Zacuto ca. 1625 1 October 1697 , also known as the Ramaz, was a kabalistic writer and poet. It is generally supposed that his birthplace was Amsterdam , although, like the Amsterdam rabbi Saul Levi Morteira , he probably lived in Venice , the residence of a brother named Nehemiah. He was a pupil of Morteira, on whose death he composed a long elegy edited by Kaufmann in R. E. J. xxxvii. 115 et seq. , and he was also a fellow student of Baruch Spinoza . Travels He was inclined to mysticism from his youth, and at one time fasted forty days that he might forget the Latin language Latin which he had learned, since, in his opinion, it could not be reconciled with cabalistic truths. To continue his Talmudic studies he went from Amsterdam to Pozna Posen or Poland , as is clear from the letter of recommendation which he gave at Venice in 1672 to the delegates who had come to Italy to collect money for the oppressed Polish communities. It was his intention to make a pilgrimage to Palestine , but on the way he was persuaded to remain as rabbi in Venice, where he stayed, with the exception of a short residence in Padua , from 1645 until the summer of 1673. He was then called to Mantua at a fixed salary of 300 ducats, and remained there until his death, twenty four years later. His epitaph is given by Wolf Bibl. Hebr. iv. 1200 and by Landshuth Ammude ha Abodah, p. 215 .

According to the statement of Isaac himself, in the introduction to his concordance see below , he was completely ignorant of the Bible until his fifteenth year, his studies having been restricted to the Talmud and to religious philosophy. Later he took up other branches of learning, and owing to his frequent association with Christians and to the numerous anti Jewish writings of Jewish apostate s that appeared at that time, he turned his attention to religious controversy.

Isaacben Chayyim Cansino Cancino died 1672 was a poet and prominent member of the Jewish community of Oran . He was probably a brother of Jacob Cansino II . Cansino was a liturgical poet of high attainments, and Hazzan cantor in the synagogue on the Day of Atonement , an office regarded as a post of honor. Cansino s greatest work is the first part of the so called Machzor Oran , which contains many poems written by him. Among his occasional poems is one in praise of the collection of poems Aguddat Ezob by Abraham ben Jacob Cansino a dirge on the death of Aaron Cansino in 1633 and one of sympathy to Samuel Cansino on the occasion of the loss of his fortune by the cheating of gamblers. Wolf speaks of Isaac Cansino, a brother of Abraham Cansino, who embraced Christianity after the expulsion of the Jews from Oran in 1668. This Isaac Cansino, however, can hardly be identical with the one above mentioned. Meyer Kayserling also mentions an Isaac Cansino, publisher at Amsterdam in 1685, whose relationship with the Cansinos of Oran is unknown.

Mosesben Joseph ben Merwan ha Levi flourished about the middle of the twelfth century was a prominent Proven al rabbi and Talmud ist. He was a nephew and pupil of Isaacben Merwan ha Levi . His colleagues addressed him as Great scholar, Nasi Rabbi Moses, and his ritual decisions and Talmudic comments are often quoted. He directed the yeshibah at Narbonne , several of his pupils subsequently achieving fame. Abraham ben David of Posqui res and Zerahiah Gerondi were among his pupils. He was in continuous correspondence with his younger colleague Abraham benIsaac , ab bet din, who was his pupil and who by preference sought Moses advice in difficult casuistic questions. Jacob benMoses of Bagnols quotes a document relating to a divorce drawn up at Narbonne in 1134 and signed by the great rabbi Mosesben Joseph and by Eliezer ben Zechariah . Gross identifies this Mosesben Joseph with Mosesben Joseph Merwan. If this identification is correct, Moses was one of the foremost cabalists of southern France, as Jacob s words in the passage cited indicate, although Moses is not otherwise known as a mystic.
