младший сын Исаака Абрабанеля. В год изгнания из Испании отец послал его в Салоники, где юноша изучал Талмуд в Раввинской академии Иосифа Фаси. Возвратившись к своей родне в Италию, Самуил А. поселился в Неаполе и вскоре занял там место финансового агента при вице-короле доне Педро де Толедо. Свое большое состояние (оно оценивалось в двести тысяч золотых цекинов, около 800.000 рублей) он употреблял на благотворительные и просветительные цели. Современный ему поэт Самуил Ускве говорил, что А. заслуживает эпитета "трисмегист" (трижды великий), ибо он велик в учености, в родовитости и в богатстве. "Он великодушно употребляет свои богатства на помощь бедствующим единоверцам; он дает сиротам возможность вступить в брак, поддерживает нуждающихся, освобождает невольников". Современники дали А. титул "наси" (патриарх). Youngest son of Isaac Abravanel, and grandson of Judah; was born in 1473, at Lisbon. His father sent him to Salonica to pursue his Talmudic studies, where he became the pupil of Joseph Fasi. He lived at Naples, and was employed as financier by the viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo. He made the best possible use of his great wealth, which amounted to more than 200,000 gold zecchini or sequins (about $450,000). The poet Samuel Usque said that he deserved the surname "Tremegisto," that is, "thrice great": great in scholarship, great in name (ancestry), and great in wealth. "He generously employs his wealth in promoting the welfare of his coreligionists. He enables many orphans to marry, supports the needy, and endeavors strenuously to free captives, so that in him are combined all the great qualities which make one fitted for the gift of prophecy." By his contemporaries he was surnamed "Nasi" (Prince), and was much respected.
