"Tras la muerte de (Abraham) Benveniste (rab de la Corte), tenemos la noticia, en 1450, de una comisión encargada de repartir los impuestos entre los judíos del reino formada por las siguientes personas: R. Yosef ben SemTob, el famoso filósofo, Yosef Benveniste, hijo de Don Abraham; R. Isaac Campantón, el último Gaon de Castilla; y de otros dos judíos ricos e ilustres"

R. Yosef ben SemTob, the well known philosopher, Yosef Benveniste, son of Don Abraham, R. Isaac Campantón, the last Gaon of Castilla, and two other rich and distinguished Jews"
