Turkish Talmudist; flourished about 1550 in Salonica. He wrote essays ("shiá¹á¹ot") to the Talmudical orders Mo'ed, Nashim, and Neziḳin, of which there was published after his death the part on Giá¹á¹in, "Migdal Dawid" (The Tower of David), Salonica, 1597. He is also mentioned in the responsa of Samuel de Medina (No. 198) and Joseph di Trani (No. 25). David is distinguished as Talmudist by his profound knowledge (Ghirondi, "Toledot Gedole Yisrael," p. 80). Azulai supposed that David was a pupil of Solomon b. Jehiel Luria.
