Alfonso de Zamora
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfonso de Zamora (c1474-1544) was a Spanish Rabbi who converted to Roman Catholicism. He was baptized in 1506; died 1531.
He revised the Hebrew text for Ximenes's Polyglot Bible with Alfonso de Alcalá and Pablo de Coronel, translated the Chaldee paraphrase in it, and added the sixth volume. He published also a work called "Introductiones Hebraicae" (Alcalá, 1526) which included a translation of the Letter to the Hebrews into Hebrew.[1]
