IBN ḤAYYIM, AARON
IBN ḤAYYIM, AARON (II; before 1630–1688), rabbi and commentator. A grandson of Aaron ibn Ḥayyim I, Aaron II was born in Hebron. He lived in Cairo, Alexandria, and Rashid, Egypt, from 1670 to 1675. From there he proceeded   to Smyrna, where he was appointed dayyan. Aaron II corresponded with Ḥayyim Benveniste , Solomon b. Isaac ha-Levy, and Ḥayyim algazi . He perished in an earthquake in Smyrna. Ḥayyim J.D. Azulai saw many of Aaron II's works in manuscript, including a comprehensive commentary on Ein Ya'akov by Jacob Ibn Ḥabib , responsa, and halakhic decisions. Many of his writings were preserved by his widow who lived in Jerusalem, and Moses Ḥagiz frequently mentions them in his supplements to Halakhot Ketannot (Venice, 1709). Some of them were preserved in Rashid and others in Smyrna. Many of his responsa are contained in the works of his contemporaries. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: Frumkin-Rivlin, 1 (1929), 120f.; J.
