A Hebrew poet; lived about the middle of the seventeenth century at Rosetta, in Egypt. He was a descendant of the Abbas family, whose poetic bent continued to manifest itself even when the neo-Hebrew poetry was on the decline. Moses Judah Abbas ben Meir (this is his full name according to Pollak) was also eminent as a Talmudist. He left a commentary on the Talmudic treatises Kallah, Soferim, and Semaḥot, which were in the possession of Azulai, and several responsa, which still exist in manuscript in the Bodleian collection.
