Raphael Isaiah Azulai

Raphael Isaiah Azulai (Hebrew: רפאל ישעיה אזולאי‎; c. 1743 – 9 Shvat,[1] 1826 or possibly 1830[2]) was a rabbi in Ancona until his death. He was the firstborn of Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulay. One of his daughters married Abraham Pardo, son of the renowned rabbi David Pardo; and her grandson Moses Pardo was rabbi of Alexandria from 1871 to 1888. He was the author of a number of responsa and decisions, which appeared partly under the title Tiferet Mosheh (The Splendor of Moses), and partly in the Zikron Mosheh of his son Moses (No. 10).
