Description		    The writer was a member of a family of rabbis and hakhamim which originated in Toledo, Spain. After the expulsion from Spain in 1492, the Toledanos were to be found in Safed, Salonika, and Morocco. According to a family tradition they arrived in Fez during the 16th century from Salonika, and from there went to MeknIs and became leaders of the community from the 16th century until the present day.
