Joseph Palacci (also "Palaggi", "Palagi", and many variations) (1815–1896) was a rabbi and author in
Ladino and Hebrew in Izmir and was a descendant of the
Pallache family.
Life
Palacci was born in Izmir in 1815, the third and youngest son of grand rabbi
Haim Palachi and younger brother of grand rabbis
Abraham Palacci and
Rahamim Nissim Palacci.
He was to succeed his brothers as grand rabbi but proved too young (under seventy-five) under current law. Instead, Solomon, one of Abraham's sons, was nominated to succeed. Due to Solomon's credentials (weak in scholarship, discordant in community), tension arose, and Joseph Eli (died 1906) was nominated. To end the dispute, Solomon received another position in the rabbinate and Joseph Eli succeeded briefly (1899–1900). Finally, Joseph ben Samuel Bensenior (1837–1913) succeeded as grand rabbi in December 1900.

His grandfather mentions how he helped print his grandfather's books. Palacci himself also wrote books.
Personal and death
Palacci died in Izmir in 1896.
