Eliezer (Lazer) ben Elijah Ashkenazi (1512–December 13, 1585) ((ヘブライ語:אליעזר בן אליהו אשכנזי)) was a Talmudist, rabbi, physician, and many-sided scholar. Though of a German family (according to some, the relative of Joseph Colon; see Marco Mortara, ''Indice Alfabetico,'' s.v.), he was probably born in the Levant, and received his Talmudic education under Joseph Taitazak in Salonica. Ashkenazi first became rabbi in Egypt 1538-60, probably at Fostat, where, by his learning and wealth, he became widely known. Compelled by circumstances—doubtless of a political nature—to leave Egypt, he went to Cyprus, remaining there for two years as rabbi at Famagusta. A desire to visit foreign lands and to observe foreign peoples impelled him to give up this position and to travel. He went first to Venice, but a disagreement with the rabbis Meïr Padua and his son Judah Katzenellenbogen caused him to leave the city and in the same year to take up his residence at Prague (1561). Here—either because he was a rabbi, or, at all events, because he was a leading authority—his was the first signature appended to the constitution of the burial society of the congregation. After leaving Bohemia and proceeding eastward as far as the Crimea, Ashkenazi returned to Italy, not before 1570. While rabbi of Cremona he published there (1576) his work, ''Yosef Lekah'' (Increases Learning; compare Prov. i. 5), dedicated to Joseph Nasi, duke of Naxos, which was several times reprinted. Four years later he was again in eastern Europe, as rabbi of Posen. In 1584 he left that city to take up his abode in Cracow, where he died on December 13, 1585. == Works == Ashkenazi's printed works are as follows: * ''Yosef LekaḦ'' A commentary on the Book of Esther * ''Ma'ase ha-Shem'' (The Works of God; Venice, 1583; several other editions), a commentary on the historical portions of the Pentateuch, written for the instruction of his son Elijah, and containing also a complete commentary on the Passover Haggadah, which has frequently been published separately * Eight "selihot" (penitential prayers), included in the Bohemian liturgy * A "tokahah" (homily), published by his son. * His supercommentary to Nahmanides, and his critical marginal notes—said to number one thousand—on Joseph Caro's ''Bet Yosef,'' have not been preserved. 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「Eliezer ben Elijah Ashkenazi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
