Does anyone here have access to **The Jewish Community of Salonica** from the Fifteenth to the Sixteenth Century by Joseph Hacker?I am interested if he explains his reason for transliterating the Portuguese name שמסולו/שמסולי as "Shamsolo". In other places I have seen "Shamsulai" (really "Schamsulai" - the source is German). So if you have more information about that family name, I'd be grateful.
