ṢALIḤ IBN YAḤYA (Yihye) IBN JOSEPH
ṢALIḤ IBN YAḤYA (Yihye) IBN JOSEPH (17th century), San'a scholar and paytan. Ṣāliḥ was the grandfather of R. Yaḥyā ibn Joseph Ṣāliḥ , who, in his works, makes considerable mention of his grandfather. Two works of his have been preserved: they deal with the laws of ritual slaughter (extant in Ms.). The piyyutim which he wrote deal with exile and redemption and echo the cruel exile from Mawzaʿ which took place during his lifetime (his grandson R. Yaḥyā Ṣāliḥ included ten of these in the Yemenite maḥzor, Eẓ Ḥayyim, 3 (1894) 158–65). In two of his tokhaḥot which have been preserved,   he calls upon his generation to repent. He had a reputation as a miracle worker. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: A. Koraḥ, Sa'arat Teiman (1954), 16; Ratzaby, in: KS, 28 (1952/53), 270, nos. 93–94. (Yehuda Ratzaby)
