summary

R. Samuel Laniado (d. 1605), one of the famous sages of Aram Tzova (Aleppo), is known as the "Ba'al ha-Kelim," because his titles start with the word "Keli" (Keli Chemdah on Pentateuch; Keli Yakar on Early Prophets; and Keli Paz on Isaiah). See David Sutton, Aleppo: City of Scholars (2005), p. 260, no. 376
