Moses ben Abraham Bali
Moses ben Abraham Bali (fl. late 15th century) was a Karaite physician, poet and ḥakham from Cairo. Two collections of his Hebrew poetry are found in the collection of Abraham Firkovich now in Saint-Petersburg. The earlier, Sefer Zeraḥ (1489), contains 224 piyyutim on the weekly lessons. The later, Taḥkemoni, contains 237 piyyutim for the Sabbath and other holidays.[1][2] There are also liturgical poems ascribed to Moses ben Abraham Darʿī that are in fact by Bali.[2]
