The late 16th-century preacher Rabbi Moses Alfalas was a native of Tetuan, Spanish Morocco. He wandered through Turkey, Greece, Eretz Yisrael and died in Italy.
A contemporary of the MaHaRaL of Prague, he too employed philosophical terms in his sermons, while giving them novel meaning. The thirteen chapters of Ho'il Moshe treat the Midrashic sayings concerning the giving of the Torah to Israel, followed by seven chapters on the significance of circumcision

Antique signature:
Abraham Ibn Attar.
