Smaller settlements in the surrounding area of Constantinople have existed as well, such as the Karaites of Adrianople, who themselves descend from the Constantinopolitan community.

[8][9] These authors have produced prominent theological, liturgical and philosophical works, which have been eminent for the development of the wider Karaite Judaism.

It was the work "Seder Tefillot" (Book of Prayers and Hymns) of Aaron ben Joseph of Constantinople that was adopted by most of the Karaite congregations as the standard prayer-book, and that probably earned for him the epithet "ha-Kadosh" (the Saint).

This code, which contained both the mandatory and prohibitory precepts, is rightly regarded by the Karaites as the greatest authority on those matters.

Shlomo ben Afeda Ha-Kohen considered the last of the Karaite sages of Constantinople[10] wrote an abridgment of the "Aderet Eliyahu" in 1860, named "Yeriot Shelomo".
