QUERIDO, JACOB: Gotthard Deutsch Meyer
Kayserling
Successor of Shabbethai Z.ebi; born at
Salonica; died at Alexandria in 1690. He
was a son of Joseph "the Philosopher" and
a brother-in-law of Shabbethai Z.ebi. His
sister, Shabbethai's widow, is said to
have alleged, in order that Jacob might
succeed to the leadership of the sect,
that he was her son by Shabbethai.
Assisted by Solomon Florentin, a learned
Talmudist who had joined them, he gained a
large following, and embraced
Mohammedanism about 1687. He then made a
pilgrimage to Mecca with many of his
disciples, and died on his return to
Alexandria. He was succeeded by his son
Berechiah. Querido was regarded as the
real founder of the apostate sect of
Salonica which formally renounced Judaism
and took the name of Dönmeh (Dölmeh).
Another Jacob Querido, a contemporary of
the preceding, was hakam at Middelburg,
Holland, where he died at an early age. A
third Jacob Querido, also living at this
time, was rabbi at Smyrna and a son-in-law
of Joseph b. Elijah Hazzan, who in his
"'En Yosef" mentions Querido's commentary
on the Bible.
