R. Isaac b. Hezekiah Joseph Covo, called Morenu (1770–1854), member of family originating from Covo near Milan, which produced many rabbis who flourished mainly at Salonika. In 1805 he went to Turkey as an emissary of Jerusalem. In his old age he returned to Erez Israel and in 1848 was appointed hakham bashi in Jerusalem. In 1854, at the age of 83, he set out as an emissary of Jerusalem to Egypt and died in Alexandria. On an earlier mission he visited Germany. His writings have remained in manuscript. A brochure by him, entitled Degel Mahaneh on the Mahaneh Efrayim of R. Ephraim Navon, was published in the Ateret Zahav (vol. 2, Jerusalem, 1898) of R. Isaac Badhav.

R. Benjamin Mordecai b. Ephraim Navon (1788–1851), kabbalist and halakhist, one of the outstanding Jerusalem sages of his time, son of R. Ephraim b. Jonah Navon. R. Navon was called Jilibin (lelebi, a Turkish title of honor). He was head of the kabbalists of the "Midrash Hasidim Kehillah Kedoshah Bet El" and head of a bet din. He devoted himself to a great extent to communal affairs, and assisted Israel Bak in establishing his pioneer printing press in Jerusalem in 1841. Navon wrote many responsa, some of which were published under the title Benei Binyamin (1876) by R. Jacob Saul Elyashar, his stepson and disciple, who also included many of his sermons in his Ish Emunim (1885).
