summary

Haham Solomon Salem hailed originally from Adrianople (today Edirne, Turkey), and prior to his arrival in Amsterdam served as the spiritual leader of the communities of Sofia (Bulgaria) and Belgrade (Serbia). While staying in Amsterdam to supervise publication of his work Shonei Halachoth, he was chosen by the Portuguese congregation as their Chief Rabbi. He later authored Lev Shalem (1773), a list of sources for Maimonides' code. See M.H. Gans, Memorbook (1977), p. 190
