Moses Judah Abbas
Moses Judah ben Meir Abbas (; –1671), also known by the acronym Mashya (), was a 17th-century Talmudist and Hebrew poet. Abbas was born in Salonika into a prominent Sephardi literary family. He later settled in Egypt, where he founded a "yeshiva" and "Talmud Torah", and, in the last years of his life, served as a rabbi in Rosetta. He left a commentary entitled "Kisse kavod" on the minor tractates "Kallah", "Soferim", and "Semaḥot", and several responsa, which exist in manuscript form in the Bodleian collection.
