TANUJI, JOSEPH BEN SHALOM HA-KOHEN
TANUJI, JOSEPH BEN SHALOM HA-KOHEN (early 18th century), Tunisian rabbi. Both he and his father bore the title of caid. Tanuji studied under Abraham Tayyib. He was the author of Benei Yosef, which was published 70 years later (Leghorn, 1793) at the expense of a member of his family, the caid Judah Tanuji.
It consists of a brief commentary on parts of the tractates Bava Kamma, Bava Meẓia, Avodah Zarah, and Me'ilah, together with notes on the Mishneh Torah of *Maimonides and on Elijah *Mizraḥi. The editor appended (p. 35a–b) some notes by Abraham Tayyib on Maimonides and by Ẓemaḥ Sarfati on Sanhedrin.
