Joseph Trani (1568–1639) or Joseph di Trani was a
Talmudist of the latter part of the 16th century who lived in Greece. By contemporary scholars he was called Mahrimat (Hebrew: מהרימ"ט), and regarded as one of the foremost Talmudists of his time. Today he is more widely known as Maharit (Hebrew: מהרי"ט). He is the son of the Mabit
.
He was the author of She'elot u-Teshubot (
Yad ha-Chazaka, and on R. Nathan
's Aruk.
In 2008, Trani's burial site was discovered in Safed, near the grave of Rabbi Moshe Alshich.[1] Although the Maharit died and was buried in Constantinople, his sons later transferred his remains to Safed as he had requested so that he could be interred near his father, Moshe di Trani.
