Moses ben Mordecai Zacuto ca. 1625 1 October 1697 , also known as the Ramaz , was a kabalistic writer and poet. It is generally supposed that his birthplace was Amsterdam , although, like the Amsterdam rabbi Saul Levi Morteira , he probably lived in Venice , the residence of a brother named Nehemiah. He was a pupil of Morteira, on whose death he composed a long elegy edited by Kaufmann in R. E. J. xxxvii. 115 et seq. , and he was also a fellow student of Baruch Spinoza . Travels He was inclined to mysticism from his youth, and at one time fasted forty days that he might forget the Latin language Latin which he had learned, since, in his opinion, it could not be reconciled with cabalistic truths. To continue his Talmudic studies he went from Amsterdam to Pozna Posen or Poland , as is clear from the letter of recommendation which he gave at Venice in 1672 to the delegates who had come to Italy to collect money for the oppressed Polish communities. It was his intention to make a pilgrimage to Palestine , but on the way he was persuaded to remain as rabbi in Venice, where he stayed, with the exception of a short residence in Padua , from 1645 until the summer of 1673. He was then called to Mantua at a fixed salary of 300 ducats, and remained there until his death, twenty four years later. His epitaph is given by Wolf Bibl. Hebr. iv. 1200 and by Landshuth Ammude ha Abodah, p. 215 .
