Samuel B. Isaac Abas, died 1692 (Hamburg ?) Amsterdam, occupation: Rav ABBAS (ABAS, ABATZ), SAMUEL B. ISAAC: By : William Milwitzky Rabbi in the latter half of the seventeenth century at Amsterdam, where his death occurred about 1693. He translated into Portuguese, from the Hebrew version of Ibn Tibbon, Ba?ya's "Lehobot ha-Lebabot" (Amsterdam, 1670), which gave to this widel y circulated work a decided accession of popularity among the Sephardic communities of western Europe. This translation, apart from the language, does not differ greatly from the JudÁo-Spanish and Spanish versions existing at the time of its appea rance. Abbas was the possessor of a valuable collection of books in Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin. A thirty-page catalogue of the collection, printed in Amsterdam, appeared in the year of his death. Bibliography: Kayserling, Bib. Espa.-Port. Jud., p. 1; Steinschneider, Cat.
