He officiated as rabbi of Padua for forty-seven years, during which time he had a great number of pupils, among whom were his son Abraham Minz, and the latter's son-in-law Meir Katzenellenbogen.
[1] It appears from Solomon Luria's responsa[2] that Minz was the author of a number of ordinances (takanot) at Padua.
It is very likely, however, that Ghirondi confounded Minz with Elijah Delmedigo or Abraham de Balmes, both of whom lectured on philosophy before Christian audiences.
These responsa have been edited, and supplemented with an extended commentary and preface, by Johanan ben Moses Preschel.
[4] Judah's responsa, though scanty, afford interesting information on the history of his age and on Jewish customs in Padua.
