The Western Sephardic Intellectual Tradition (Revised)

This is a revised edition, and combination, of two earlier posts. I have included works by authors who were of Western Sephardic ancestry, those who were raised in or spent a significant part of their lives belonging to Western Sephardic communities, and Hakhamim who served Western Sephardic communities.

To make it easier to choose the preferred link where there are several to choose from, I have marked the different websites as follows:
GB for Google Books, HB for hebrewbooks.com, NLI for the National Library of Israel, TIA for The Internet Archive, FSU for the Freimann Collection of Goethe University
