- IBN ẒUR, JACOB BEN REUBEN
- IBN ẒUR, JACOB BEN REUBEN (1673–1752), rabbi, scholar, and
poet; born in fez . Among his teachers were Menahem serero
and Vidal Ẓarfati. Oppressive taxation induced Ibn Ẓur to move to
Meknès, where he became a member of the bet din of
judah ibn attar . Between 1738 and 1740
he moved to Tetuan where he also served on
the bet din. At an advanced age, he ordained five of his
students, who later became known as the "Court of Five" (bet din
shel ḥamishah). Ibn Ẓur's works include responsa of considerable
historical value. Some were published in the collection Mishpat
u-Ẓedakah be-Ya'akov (Alexandria, 1894). Others are found in the
works of his contemporaries and several hundred remain unpublished. He
also wrote Et le-Khol Ḥefeẓ, a poetical miscellany
(Alexandria, 1893).
His other works, still in manuscript are Et Sofer (Ms.
Berlin), specimens of contracts, documents and form letters, most of
which were published in abraham ankawa 's Kerem Ḥemed; Leshon
Limmudim, specimens of letters and essays (Ms. Berlin); and
sermons and Bible commentaries. A large number of Ibn Ẓur's
piyyutim are included in various collections, both printed
and handwritten, of Moroccan zemirot (e.g., Et
Sefod, Ms. Schocken no.
57. and are among the most popular poetical creations of the Moroccan
Jews.
