Jeshua Shababo
Egyptian scribe and rabbi
Jeshua Shababo was an Egyptian scribe and rabbi, who lived in the last quarter of the seventeenth century. His teachers were Rabbis Abraham ha-Levi of Cairo and Joseph Nazir, who afterward became his father-in-law. The former included some dissertations of his pupil in his work Ginnat Veradim. The two men differed in opinion, and the pupil answered his teacher in Peraḥ Shushan (Constantinople, 1732).
