With the scarce four-leaf index missing in many copies. Of Spanish origin, Moses Albelda (1500-c. 1583) was likely born in Salonika and later served as rabbi of Arta, Greece, and thereafter, Valona, Albania. His commentary and Biblical expositions are of a speculative, philosophical nature. See EJ, Vol. II, col. 529.
