LANIADO, SOLOMON BEN ABRAHAM
- LANIADO, SOLOMON BEN ABRAHAM
- LANIADO, SOLOMON BEN ABRAHAM (d. after 1714), rabbi in
aleppo . Solomon was the grandson of
samuel b. abraham laniado . Apparently, he succeeded his father as
rabbi and dayyan after the latter's immigration to
jerusalem . Laniado wrote Midrash Shelomo, still in
manuscript. Laniado was known as a fervent Shabbatean and when
Shabbetai Ẓevi visited Aleppo in 1665 he became friendly with
Laniado and told Solomon many details about his life. Solomon and Nathan
b. Mordecai (or Nissim b. Mordecai Dayyan) propagated the messianic
claims of Shabbetai Ẓevi. Two of their letters are extant. One was sent
to the Jews of Ancona, Italy (no date) and the other to kurdistan
in 1669. The letters contain very important information on the lives and
activities of Shabbetai Ẓevi and nathan of gaza . Laniado is cited
in the list of kings appointed by Shabbetai Ẓevi in Smyrna. The extent
of Shabbatean influence on Aleppo Jewry is shown by the fact that even
after Shabbetai Ẓevi 's apostasy Laniado served as a rabbi.
