JOSEPH BEN MOSES OF KREMENETS
- JOSEPH BEN MOSES OF KREMENETS
- JOSEPH BEN MOSES OF KREMENETS (second half of the
16th century), Polish talmudist. Joseph's teachers in Cracow
included moses isserles , israel ben shalom shakhna , and R.
Mardush in Ostrog. The influence of his teachers is seen in his
Be'urei ha-Semag (Venice, 1605), a commentary on the section
on negative precepts in the Sefer Mitzvot Gadol of
moses of Coucy. He also wrote Be'urei Rashi, a super
commentary to Rashi's commentary on the Pentateuch (Prague, 1615), as
well as Be'urei Sha'arei Dura (ibid., 1609), on
the work of that name by isaac ben meir dueren (Cracow, 1534). A
halakhic decision of Joseph appears in the Mashbit Milḥamot
about the Mikvah of Rovigo (Venice, 1606, 88a–89b).
