Saadia ben Abraham Longo

Saadia ben Abraham Longo was a Turkish Hebrew poet, who lived in Constantinople in about the middle of the 16th century.

A manuscript in the Bodleian Library contains a collection of Longo's poems about various subjects; letters written by him to contemporary scholars and by them to him; a poetical correspondence between Longo and David Onkeneira; and a paper entitled Naḥal Ḳedumim, in prose interspersed with verse in which occur 1,000 words beginning with aleph, an arrangement similar to that which was followed in the Elef Alfin of .

Some of Longo's dirges were published under the title Shivre Luḥot (Salonica, 1594). To them is prefixed a chronicle of Jewish writers and their works, entitled Seder Zemannim. Longo wrote, besides, poems on many works of his contemporaries; these poems are printed at the beginning of the works to which they refer.
