Ghirondi studied at the rabbinical college of Padua, in which he was appointed professor of theology (1824). In 1829 he was appointed assistant rabbi of Padua; two years later he became chief rabbi. He was a recognized authority in rabbinics, and was consulted by rabbis of several communities. He wrote:
He had in his possession Graziadio Nepi 's biographical work entitled ''Zeker Ẓaddiḳim''; to this he added 831 numbers of his own, two-thirds of which are not found in any earlier biographical dictionary. The combined work was published by Ephraim Raphael Ghirondi , the author's son: Nepi's and Ghirondi's were printed on opposite pages (Trieste, 1853). The latter also wrote ''Ḳebuẓat Kesef'', responsa, in two parts, and ''Liḳḳuṭe Shoshannim'', novellæ, in two volumes (both unpublished). Letters of Ghirondi's on different subjects were published in ''Kerem Ḥemed'' (ii. 52; iii. 88 et seq.; iv. 13). EXTERNAL LINK |
