an Italian Jewish rabbi, was born about 1643, and died as chief-rabbi at Mantua in 1722. The only printed work of his is the Hebrew grammar, שֶׁפֶר נְלָלַי הִדַּקְדּוּק (Mantua, 1730). He wrote besides, השלוחים השגות על סיפורי, a polemical work against the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. In the Italian language he wrote a treatise on miracles, Breve Ragionamento Sopra i Miracoli, and a reply to Pinamonti's La Sinaqoga Disingannata, all of which are still in MS. See Furst, Bibl.
