Salonika: Mattathias Bath-Sheva (Bassevi) 1600
A native of Salonika, the author (1532-1600) writes in the introduction that his grandfather, the physician Maestro Solomon Halevi, a Spanish exile by way of Portugal, settled in Salonika a century earlier.===This work continues the Sephardic tradition in both its rationalist and mystical aspects: citing at times Maimonides' Guide, at other times, the Zohar.
