Abraham ben Hezekiah Ḥazkuni (Hebrew: אברהם בן יחזקיה חזקוני; born 1627) was a Galician Talmudist and Kabbalist. He was a disciple of Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller.
Ḥazkuni published Zot Ḥuqqat ha-Torah, an abridged version of Isaac Luria's Sefer ha-Kavanot, in Venice in 1659. His work Shete Yadot, a collection of sermons arranged according to the weekly Torah portions, was published by his son in Amsterdam in 1726.[1][2] His commentary on the Zohar divided into two volumes, Yad Ramah and Yad Adonai, is preserved in manuscript form.[3] Ḥazkuni also wrote the two-volume work Zera‘ Abraham—one volume consisting of sermons and the other containing novellae on tractates Beẓah and Mo‘ed Ḳatan—and the work Yodea‘ Binah.[2]
