Abraham Ha-Sephardi

Hebrew poet and ritualist. He was rabbi at Arta in 1521. Though not a Karaite, he has been credited with the authorship of the seven poems of four lines each which precede the different sections of the Nineteenth Psalm, printed in the Karaite prayer-book for use during the seven days of Passover.
