Alfandari was a family of eastern rabbis prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries, found in Smyrna, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. The name may be derived from a Spanish locality, perhaps from Alfambra. The following is a list of the chief members of the family: *Aaron ben Moses Alfandari *Elijah Alfandari *Ḥayyim ben Isaac Raphael Alfandari the Younger *Ḥayyim ben Jacob Alfandari the Elder *Isaac Raphael Alfandari *Jacob ben Ḥayyim Alfandari *Solomon Eliezer Alfandari Members of this family were to be found as of 1906 in Constantinople and in Beirut. A Portuguese family of the name Alphandéry still exists (1906) in Paris and Avignon. At the latter place there was a physician, Moses Alphandéry, in 1506 (''Rev. Ét. Juives,'' xxxiv. 253) and a Lyon Alphanderic, in 1558 (ibid. vii. 280). Compare the names Moses אלפנדריך (Neubauer, ''Cat. Bodl. Hebr. MSS.'' No. 2129) and Aaron אלפנדארק (ibid. No. 1080). For a possible explanation of the name, see Steinschneider, ''Jew. Quart. Rev.'' xi. 591. In addition to the persons mentioned above, there is known a Solomon Alfandari (Valencia, 1367), whose son Jacob assisted Samuel Ẓarẓa in tranṣlating the ''Sefer ha-'Aẓamim'' of pseudo-ibn Ezra from the Arabic into Hebrew. A merchant, Isaac Alfandari, was wrecked in 1529 on the Nubian coast (Zunz, ''Z. G.'' p. 425; Steinschneider, ''Hebr. Uebers.'' p. 448). In Israeli popular culture, the principal family in the 1973 film ''Daughters, Daughters'' is named Alfandari. == References == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfandari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
