DURAN, SIMEON BEN SOLOMON
- DURAN, SIMEON BEN SOLOMON
- DURAN, SIMEON BEN SOLOMON (RaShBaSh,
Heb. acronym of Rabbi Shimon ben
Shelomo ha-Sheni ("the Second"); 1438–after 1510), rabbi and
author. Simeon, son of solomon b. simeon duran (called RaShBaSh
ha-Rishon, "the First"), was born in Algiers and succeeded his brother
Ẓemaḥ duran as rabbi there. In 1499 he was active in the
ransoming of 50 Spanish Jews who had been brought as slaves to Algiers
(see Zacuto in bibl.). His attitude toward the Marranos from the
religious point of view was lenient (his responsa
Yakhinu-Vo'az pt. 2 nos. 3, 19, 31), regarding them as Jews.
In his old age he had to flee from Algiers when the Spanish army was
approaching Bougie and Tunis. He wrote responsa which are printed as the
second part of Yakhin u-Vo'az (Leghorn, 1782), the first part
being by his brother Ẓemaḥ. They are quoted by joseph caro . He
has been confused with Simeon (ha-Sheni) b. Ẓemaḥ.
