Flaminio Servi

Flaminio Ephraim Servi (Hebrew: אפרים בן שלמה נחמיה סרוִי, romanized: Efra'im ben Shlomo Neḥemiah Servi; 24 December 1841 – 23 January 1904) was an Italian rabbi, writer, and editor.

At the age of eleven he translated the Book of Proverbs, and completed a version of Psalms left unfinished by an elder brother who had died early in life.

[1] He afterwards studied at the Collegio Rabbinico Italiano [de] and the University of Padua,[3] receiving the degree of hakham from Rabbi Moses Sorani in 1867.

He was finally appointed chief rabbi of Casale Monferrato in 1872, a position he held until his death.

He edited also the almanac Annuario della Famiglia Israelitica (Corfu, 1870–74) and Lunario Israelitico (Casale, 1881–1904).
