Eliezer ben Elijah Ashkenaziとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Eliezer (Lazer) ben Elijah Ashkenazi (1512–December 13, 1585) (Hebrew: אליעזר בן אליהו אשכנזי‎) was a Talmudist, rabbi, physician, and many-sided scholar. Though of a German family (according to some, the relative of Joseph Colon; see Marco Mortara, Indice Alfabetico, s.v.), he was probably born in the Levant, and received his Talmudic education under Joseph Taitazak in Salonica. Ashkenazi first became rabbi in Egypt 1538-60, probably at Fostat, where, by his learning and wealth, he became widely known. Compelled by circumstances—doubtless of a political nature—to leave Egypt, he went to Cyprus, remaining there for two years as rabbi at Famagusta.
