Hi, According to historian Sholom Simonsohn R' Meir Katzenellenbogen (Maharam of Padua) was related to R' Zalman Rapa HaCohen, but Professor Simonsohn did not specify how. R' Zalman Rapa died of plague in 1575 and his eulogy was delivered by R' Shmuel Yehuda Katzenellenbogen, son of the Maharam of Padua. I am seeking any genealogical information in this 8 page eulogy written in Rashi script. I am not seeking a translation. I am only asking the reader to skim the section and report whether there is any information regarding the family connection between the Rapa and Katzenellenbogen families, and if so on which line (so that I may then proceed to translate the excerpt). I have attempted to cut and paste in complete sentences, but if I erred then please refer to the following segment for the extra words. NB: Since this is scanned from an old book, there could be some 'bleed' of print through the paper from the other side. (Segment 4)
