Joshua ben Israel Benveniste
- Joshua ben Israel Benveniste
Joshua ben Israel Benveniste (c. 1590 - c. 1668) was the brother of Chaim Benveniste, and a disciple of Joseph Trani. He was a physician and rabbi at Constantinople in 1660.
Benveniste prepared (1) "Mishmeret Ha-Miẓvot" ("Observance of the Commandments"), a metrical version of the "Azharot", with commentary; and (2) "Lebush Malkut" ("Royal Garment"), a hymn in the style of Gabirol's "Royal Crown," of which medical science constitutes the foundation. Azulai claims to have seen both of these writings in manuscript at the house of a rabbi in Constantinople.
Works
He wrote the following works:
*"Abodah Tammah" ("Perfect Service"), a commentary on the service for the Day of Atonement (ib. 1719-20)
*"Ozne Yehoshua" ("The Ears of Joshua"), sermons for the Sabbath and special occasions (Constantinople, 1677)
*"Sedeh Yehoshua" ("Fields of Joshua"), a commentary on several tracts of the "Talmud Yerushalmi" (ib. 1662, 1749)
*"Seder ha-Geṭ", on the formula for divorce, written at Brusa and published at Constantinople, 1719
*"Sha'ar Yehoshua" ("Gate of Joshua"), Benveniste's collection of "responsa", seems to have been destroyed by fire; with several of his "responsa" are included in the collections of Moses Benveniste and Joseph Trani. However, a manuscript of the author was found in the early 20th century and published in 1904 (Hustin).
