Guglielmo Raimondo Moncada (15th century) was an Italian scholar, and translator. A converted Jew from Sicily, he lived in Rome at the Papal court. After a few years spent in Germany, he was hired by Giovanni Pio della Mirandola as his instructor of Aramaic. In 1486 Pico charge him to translate into Latin the numerous cabalistic mss he had collected in his library, including the Commentary on the Torah by Menahem Recanati. After Pico's death the mss with the translations came to the Vatican Library in Rome, where they are still preserved (although a few are missing).
