Abba Mari Chalfan was the son of Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Menachem Chalfan<\/a> and Fioretta Kalonymos<\/a>. He likely grew up in the ghetto in Venice, and later moved to Prague, where he practiced as a doctor. His wife was Rachel Krava Kuh<\/a>. He died in Prague in 1585-86. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Alexandr Putik of the Jewish Museum of Prague believes that a daughter of Abba Maria Chalfan was the wife of the famous historian and astronomer David Gans<\/a> (1541-1613), who in 1600 took part in astronomical observations with Tycho Brahe<\/a> and Johannes Kepler<\/a> at the Prague observatory. Gans named one of his sons Abba Mari, which is a given name that is unknown in Bohemia except for the family of Abba Mari Chalfan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
