Alfonso de Zamora


Alfonso de Zamora (c1474-1544) was a Spanish Rabbi who converted to Roman Catholicism. He was baptized in 1506.

He revised the Hebrew text for Ximenes's Polyglot Bible with Alfonso de Alcalá and Pablo de Coronel, translated the Chaldee paraphrase in it, and added the sixth volume. He published also a work called "Introductiones Hebraicae" (Alcalá, 1526) which included an Epistle to the Hebrews, an open letter to Spanish Jews urging them to convert to Christianity.
