Moses Albelda (1500-before 1583) was born either in Spain or Salonika. He acted as rabbi of Arta, Greece, and later of Valona, Albania. His sons, Judah and Abraham, went to considerable trouble to publish their father’s works. His commentary and Biblical expositions are mainly philosophical. See EJ, Vol. II, col. 529
