Known as the “Ba’al ha-Kelim” (all of his works begin with the word “keli”), R. Samuel Laniado (d. 1605) was one of the most prolific scholars of Aleppo. R. Samuel Laniado (d. 1605), one of the famed sages of Aram-Tzova (Aleppo), is widely known as the “Ba’al HaKelim” as each of his works commence with the word “Keli.” See David Sutton, Aleppo: City of Scholars (2005) p. 260, no. 376.
