- HOROWITZ, ISAIAH BEN JACOB HA-LEVI
- HOROWITZ, ISAIAH BEN JACOB HA-LEVI (1633–1695 or 1698),
Polish rabbi and author, grandson of the author of the
Shelah, isaiah horowitz . Born in Cracow, Horowitz
obtained his early education there and then proceeded to the yeshivah of
Brest-Litovsk and subsequently to Vilna. In 1655, as a result of the
chmielnicki massacres and persecutions, he went to Italy and lived
in Ferrara, Mantua, and Verona. At the end of the introduction to his
Beit ha-Levi (Venice, 1666) he praises these three
communities who supported him and enabled him to publish it. Beit
ha-Levi comprises 18 cases of the principles of migo
(see pleas ) and novellae on the Ḥoshen Mishpat, parts
69–149. The great talmudists of his era greatly prized the book. He
returned to Poland where he died.
