  Bezalel Ashkenazi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bezalel Ashkenazi, a rabbi and scholar of the Talmud, lived in Israel during the 16th century.
During the lifetime of his teachers, Ashkenazi was regarded as one of the highest authorities in the Orient, and he counted among his pupils such men as Isaac Luria and Solomon Adeni.
The reputation of Ashkenazi in Egypt was so great that he could take it upon himself to abrogate the dignity of the nagid, which had existed for centuries and had gradually deteriorated into an arbitrary aristocratic privilege.
