AMARILLO, AARON BEN SOLOMON:
By: Louis Ginzberg
Talmudic author of the eighteenth century. He was a descendant of the Amarillos, a family of scholars that gave several great rabbis to Turkey. Like his father, Solomon, and brother, Moses, both authors of several rabbinical works, he was active as a writer, and published in 1796 his collection of responsa under the title "Pene Aharon." It is arranged after the order of the "Ṭur," and throws light on many subjects in the field of Jewish lore. (See Zedner, "Cat. Hebr. Books Brit. Mus." s. v.)
