Description		    R. Abraham b. Isaac Laniado (1545-after 1618), biblical commentator, of Aleppo. In his youth Laniado studied in Safed, R. Joseph Caro being one of his teachers. After undergoing many hardships in this city he returned to Aleppo where he married the daughter of R. Samuel b. Abraham Laniado, who was apparently his uncle, and who provided for his support. R. Laniado was in Venice in 1603 and in that year saw to the publication of his father-in-law's work Keli Yekar, a commentary on the major prophets, and of his own work Magen Avraham, consisting of homilies. He also wrote Nekuddot ha-Kesef (Venice, 1619), a commentary to the Song of Songs which was published with the text, the Aramaic Targum, and a Ladino translation. In the introduction to this work, Laniado states that he also wrote a commentary to the Pentateuch entitled Torat Hesed, and to the Five Scrolls, the haftarot, Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and Daniel.
