The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Polish rabbi; died at Skala, near Lemberg, Sept., 1726. He was descended from an old Proven�al family which first settled in Bohemia, and was the grandson of R. Menahem Manesh ?ayyut of Wilna. He became rabbi of Skala late in life, and remained there until his death. He wrote thirteen works, which are enumerated in the preface to his "Zera' Yi??a?" on the Mishnah, which was published by his son Eliezer (Frankfort-on-the-Oder, 1732). His "Iggeret ?e? ?ai," describing in a cabalistic manner "terrible things which he had seen in the upper world," was published in Czernowitz in 1862.
