jueu - mestre d'astrolabis
Comentaris
Mestre d'astrolabis jueu de Mallorca. Germà de Vidal Efraïm 'el Girondí' (fl. 1381 – 1391) i col·lega de Isaac Nafucí (fl. 1359 – 1391). L'octubre de 1380, l'infant Joan [Joan I el Caçador (1350 – 1396)], avisat de la fama de Bellshoms i Isaac, els encarregà dos astrolabis, que havien de trametre-li juntament amb la Lectura de l'astrolabi d'al-Farġānī en català, però passat un any encara no havien complert l'encàrrec. No sembla que fos traductor com va suposar Millàs (1962).
