Turkish philosopher and cabalist (according to Wolf, "Bibl. Hebr." , No. 635, also a physician); lived at Constantinople in the fifteenth century. He wrote " Mar'ot Elohim," a philosophical explanation of the visions of Isaiah and Ezekiel (mentioned in Isaiah 6:1,2, and Ezekiel 1:1 et seq.) and of Zechariah's vision of the candlestick (Zechariah 4:2); each vision occupies a chapter of the work. The author founded his explanation on the philosophy of Maimonides. There exist several manuscripts of this work, one of which, belonging to Ghirondi, concludes with a supercommentary to Ibn Ezra on Genesis. Ghirondi is of opinion that this commentary also is the work of Enoch.
