a Jewish rabbi, who flourished at Adrianople, Belgrade, and Constantinople in the present century. The name Affendofulo is a compound of the Turkish effendi and the Greek ποῦλος (son). He wrote a commentary (עֲשָׂרָה מִאֲמָרוֹת ) on the Song of Solomon and Psalms 119, with introductions and epilogues to each section, having reference to the divergence of the Karaites from the Rabbins (Vienna, 1830, 4to), besides two other works of a polemical character. — See Furst, Bibliotheca Judaica, 1, 20, 21.
