Cantarini, Ḥayyim Moses (Angelo) ben Isaiah Azriel
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or Italian physician, rabbi, poet, and writer; lived in the second half of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century at Padua, where he was also instructor in the yeshibah. He published in Italian: "Chirurgia Pratica," Padua, 1677. At his death he left the following manuscript works in Hebrew (Ghirondi MSS.): "Haggahot," glosses on some halakic works of post-Talmudic authors; "Mar'eh ha-Seneh" (Vision of the Thorn-Bush), a description of a persecution of the Jews at Padua, probably of the same one of which the work of his uncle Isaac Ḥayyim Cantarini, "Paḥad Yiáºá¸¥aḳ," treats. Responsa of his are also extant in manuscript.
Wolf ("Bibl. Hebr." 3:565) mentions Cantarini's correspondence with the Christian scholar Unger of Silesia on the history of the Jews in Italy.
