Moses ben Elijah Galina was a Jewish pseudoscientific writer and translator from Candia. He is best known for his work Toledot Adam, published in Constantinople in 1515, on chiromancy and physiognomy. The work draws primarily from 'Ali ibn 'Abbas' Kamil al-Ṣina'ah and the pseudo-Aristotelian treatise Secretum. It was later condensed and released with a translation into Yiddish under the title Ḥokhmat ha-yad. Galina published several translations from Arabic into Hebrew, including Sefer mezuḳḳaḳ,
