Duran, Shelomoh ben Tsemaḥ

1593

Enc. Jud., 2 ed., 2007: Ẓemaḥ ben Simeon ben Zemaḥ (d. 1590) wrote a commentary on the poem for Purim by Isaac b. Ghayyat which was published in Tifeʾret Yisrael (Venice, 1591?) by his son Solomon (d. c. 1593). The latter wrote notes on the works of his grandfather Simeon b. Ẓemaḥ, Yavin Shemu'ah and Tashbaẓ, which are followed by his casuistic responsa Ḥuṭ ha-Meshullash, part 1. In addition, Solomon wrote a collection of sermons, a commentary on the Book of Esther, and a treatise on temperance. All of these are included in his Tiferet Yisrael. He is also the author of a commentary on Proverbs, Heshek Shelomo (Venice, 1623).
