Isaiah Bakish

Isaiah Bakish (Hebrew: ר׳ ישעיה בקיש c. 1545 – c. 1620 fl. 1580s – 1620s) was a rabbi of spanish descent.^[1]

He was dayan (judge) in the Beth Din (rabbinical court) of Fez. His writings deal with takkanot (sing. takkanah), exegesis and kabbalah. Some of the Rav's exegesis writtings have been published ^[2]

Kabbalistic writings of Bakish were included in manuscript compilations containing also quotes from famous Kabbalists such as: Nahmanides (Ramban, R’ Moshe ben Nahman Gerondi); Rabbi Isaac Luria (R’ Ari zal); Rabbi Hayyim ben Joseph Vital; R’ Abraham Azulai.^[3] The microfilmed collections of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem^[4] contain several of these manuscripts or microfilm manuscripts from other libraries.

In his work on Kabbalah in North Africa since the 16th c., Moshé Hallamish mentioned Isaiah Bakish.^[5] In his Shorshei Hashemot the Italian Kabbalist Moses ben Mordecai Zacuto included long quotations of the R' Isaiah Bakish (16-17th c.).^[6]
