Rabbi Joseph Trani or Joseph di Trani was a Talmudist of the latter part of the 16th century . By contemporary scholars he was called Mahrimat (Hebrew: מהרימ"ט), and regarded as one of the foremost Talmudists of his time. Today he is more widely known as Maharit (Hebrew: מהרי"ט).
Posek (ordained-judge), Talmudist, head rabbi of Kushta (Turkey).
Rabbi Yosef Miterani was the son of a famous rabbi, Rabbi Moshe of Trani ('Hamabit'), at the age of 8, he received a blessing from Rabbi Yosef Karo, author of the Shulchan Aruch.
While in Tzfat, Rabbi Yosef studied under one of the great kabbalists of the time, Rabbi Shlomo Sagish. He moved to Koshta (Turkey) where he became a prominent Posek and taught Torah. People would come from far away to hear his insightful Torah lessons. After living in Koshta for 20 years, he became the head rabbi of the Jewish community.
He was the author of She'elot u-Teshubot (responsa), a work in three parts: part i comprises 152 responsa, together with a general index (Constantinople, 1641); part ii consists of 111 responsa in the order of the first three parts of the ritual codex (Venice, 1645); part iii contains responsa to the fourth part of the ritual codex, together with novellæ to the tractate Ḳiddushin, and supercommentaries on RaN's and Alfasi's commentaries on the tractates Ketubot and Ḳiddushin (ib. 1645). The entire work appeared in Fürth in 1764. Joseph also published novellæ to the treatises Shabbat, Ketubot, and Kiddushin (Sudzilkov, 1802), and the responsa which were embodied in Alfandari's Maggid me-Reshit (Constantinople, 1710). He left several commentaries in manuscript on Alfasi, on Maimonides' Yad ha-Chazaka, and on R. Nathan's Aruk.
In 2008, Trani's burial site was discovered in Safed, near the grave of Rabbi Moshe Alshich.Although the Maharit died and was buried in Constantinople, his sons later transferred his remains to Safed as he had requested so that he could be interred near his father, Moshe di Trani.
Rabbi Yosef Mitrani was well known for his tremendous support of the sick and the poor.
May the merit of the tzaddik Rabbi Yosef of Trani protect us all, Amen.
