- CALAHORRA, ISRAEL SAMUEL BEN SOLOMON
- CALAHORRA, ISRAEL SAMUEL BEN SOLOMON (?1560–1640), Polish
talmudist. Calahorra, who was a man of means, lived in Cracow where he
maintained his own bet midrash although never accepting a
rabbinical office. His only published work is Yismaḥ Yisrael
(Cracow, 1626; Hamburg, 1686), a compendium of the laws of the Shulḥan
Arukh arranged in alphabetical order. Yismaḥ Yisrael was
republished, together with a commentary and supplements – Ḥukkat
ha-Torah by Moses Jekuthiel b. Avigdor ha-Kohen Kaufmann – on
Even ha-Ezer (Amsterdam, 1693); on Oraḥ Ḥayyim and
Yoreh De'ah (Berlin, 1700); and on Ḥoshen Mishpat
(Dyhernfurth, 1701). Yoreh De'ah was also published with the
commentary Olelot Ẓevi of Mordecai Ẓevi Friedlaender (1865).
In the introduction to Yismaḥ Yisrael, Calahorra lists six
other works he wrote on Torah and Kabbalah.
