Eber ben Pethahiah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eber ben Pethahiah (Hebrew: עבר בן פתחיה; fl. early 18th century) was a scholar from Uherský Brod, Moravia. Moritz Steinschneider indicates the possibility of the name being merely a pseudonym.[1] It appears on the title-page of Mar'eh ha-Ketab ve-Rashe Tebot, a guide to Judeo-German and its abbreviations,[2] apparently abridged from a work of Hayyim ben Menahem of Glogau.[3]
