Abraham Joseph Solomon Graziano “Ish-Ger” (d. 1684), the Rabbi of Modena, was a noted halachic scholar, bibliophile and poet. He earned the ire of some of his contemporaries for his liberal Halakhic decisions. See S. Baron, "Teshuvah…me-eth R. Abraham Graziano" in Studies in Memory of A.S. Freidus (1929) pp. 122-37; A. J. Karp, From the Ends of the Earth: Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress, pp. 155-6).
