CURIEL, ISRAEL BEN MEIR DI
- CURIEL, ISRAEL BEN MEIR DI
- CURIEL, ISRAEL BEN MEIR DI (d. 1577), sage of Safed. Neither
the place nor the date of his birth is known. Similarly, there is no
precise idea as to the date of his arrival in Safed. Di Curiel studied
under R. Joseph Fasi in Adrianople, and presumably he held a rabbinic
office in one of the congregations there. He evidently spent some time
in Istanbul as well. In Safed, Di Curiel studied under jacob berab
and was one of the latter's ordainees. Together with joseph caro
and moses trani , Di Curiel sat in the Safed bet din.
Among his disciples was R. bezalel ashkenazi . He was one of the
outstanding preachers of his time. A corpus of Di Curiel's homilies was
published by S. Regev in addition to his Or Ẓaddikim
(Salonica 1799), which was mistakenly attibuted to R. joseph caro
. The poet R. israel najara was his grandson.
