Shlomo ben Yitzchak HaLevi (; 1532–1600)[1] was a prominent rabbinic scholar in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the Jewish community's "Golden Age." Among his other duties, he served the exiled Jews from Évora, Portugal.[2]
His grandson, Shlomo ben Yitzchak HaLevi II, is most well known for his responsa Maharash Levi (or Maharash L'veit HaLevi), published in Thessaloniki in 1652.[3] These responsa are arranged according to the four-volume structural model of the Arba'ah Turim, and have been cited by such later rabbinic authorities as Rabbi Avraham Gombiner in his Magen Avraham.
