Graziadio (Hananel) Nepi (Hebrew: חננאל ניפי, romanized: Ḥananʼel Neppi; 1759 – January 18, 1836), also known by the acronym Ḥen (ח״ן),[1] was an Italian rabbi, Kabbalist, and physician.
Graziadio Nepi studied at Ferrara for twelve years under Rabbi Jacob Moses Ayash [he] and subsequently was himself the teacher of many disciples in his native city.
[2] On account of his great Talmudic learning he was sent as deputy to the Assembly of Jewish Notables convened by Napoleon I at Paris in 1806.
[3] Upon his return he was called to the congregation at Cento, where he held the position of rabbi until his death, his pupil Isaac Reggio [he] becoming his successor at Ferrara.
His Zekher tsadikim li-verakhah, consisting of biographical and bibliographical sketches of rabbis and Jewish scholars, was intended to complete Azulai's Shem ha-gedolim but left unfinished.
