Rabbi of Tunis; poet; born at Tripoli about 1682; died at Tunis 1760. Garmon went to Tunis at twenty, and studied Talmud under Isaac Lombroso, whom he succeeded in the rabbinate. He was the author of "Yeter ha-Baz," novell� on the Talmud and on Maimonides' "Yad," printed with which are eleven poems of the author (only one in meter), and the novell� of his son, ?ayyim Garmon (d. 1781), entitled "?edakah le-?ayyim" (Leghorn, 1787). The father mentions in his preface that he lost a large part of his writings in an attack on the Jewish quarter.
