1485 CE–1554 CE · Acharonim · Spain (medieval)
Rabbi Shlomo Sirilio (c. 1485–1554) was a Sephardic scholar whose family, exiled from Spain in his childhood, eventually settled in Ottoman Salonika (Thessalonika), where he pursued his studies. He later served as a dayan (rabbinical judge) in Adrianople (Edirne). In the 1530s he joined the movement of Torah scholars—among them Yosef Karo and Shlomo Alkabetz—who resettled in the Land of Israel, living for a time in Tzfat before making his home in Jerusalem, where he died. His major undertaking was a pioneering running commentary on the Talmud Yerushalmi, working through Seder Zeraim and the tractate Shekalim, much of which the Babylonian Talmud does not treat. Composed in a lucid style that often borrowed transliterated Spanish to gloss difficult terms, the work stayed in manuscript; its first printed portion, tractate Berakhot, appeared in Mainz in 1875.
