Moses Galante (the Younger)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moses Galante (the Younger) (1621 – February 4, 1689 Jerusalem), was the son of Jonathan and grandson of Moses Galante (the Elder). He wrote Zebaḥ ha-Shelamim, a harmonization of contradictory Biblical passages and of Biblical with Talmudical statements (edited by his grandson Moses Ḥagis, Amsterdam, 1707-08), and Ḳorban Ḥagigah, halakic and kabalistic novellæ (Venice, 1714). He was called מגן with reference to the initials of his name. Some of his responsa are found in the works of contemporaries, and a volume of his responsa exists under the title Elef ha-Magen, but has never been published (as of 1906). Hezekiah da Silva was among his disciples.
