- ASHKENAZI, SAMUEL JAFFE BEN ISAAC
- ASHKENAZI, SAMUEL JAFFE BEN ISAAC (16th century),
rabbi in Constantinople. He wrote a number of works, some of which are
still in manuscript. Most of them are homiletic commentaries on the
major Midrashim: e.g., Yefeh To'ar, a homiletic exegesis on
Midrash Rabbah (Genesis, Venice, 1597–1606; Exodus,
ibid., 1657; Leviticus, Constantinople, 1648), and Yefeh
Anaf (Frankfurt, 1696), an exposition of the Midrash
Rabbah on the five scrolls. Most of his writings in
halakhah are unpublished. His responsa, however, were often
quoted by 17th-century authorities.
