- LATTES, ABRAHAM BEN ISAAC (1809–1875), rabbi in Venice,
Italy, where he succeeded his grandfather Aaron Elijah Lattes in 1839. A
collaborator of the Venetian patriot daniele manin , Lattes took
an active part in the Italian revolutionary movement, and during the
existence of the Venetian republic (1848–49) was twice elected a
councilor. He wrote one of the pioneering studies on Venetian Jewry,
published in Venezia e le sue lagune (1847), and contributed
to the Hebrew periodicals Kerem Ḥemed and Bikkurei
ha-Ittim. His son, MOSES LATTES (1846–1883),
devoted himself to study after qualifying as a rabbi and published many
monographs on Italian, particularly Venetian, Jewish history and on
talmudic lexicography. He was the first to publish selections of the
historical writings of elijah capsali .
