Isaac Guetta

Isaac Guetta (; June 5, 1777 – February 2, 1857) was a Talmudic scholar and educationalist.

Biography Isaac Guetta was born in Tripoli, Libya, into a family tracing back to Jews who arrived in the Near East from Huete, Spain. He spent a significant portion of his life in Triest. In his later years, Guetta relocated to the Holy Land, where in Tiberias and Safed he played a pivotal role in establishing Talmudic seminaries.

Guetta authored four volumes of novellæ to the Babylonian Talmud, published in Leghorn (1846–47) and in Vienna (1851–56) under the title Sedeh Yiẓḥaḳ.

His grandson was the Hebrew poet David Ara, author of the collection Ḳol Dawid (Venice, 1880).
