How could this book be missing on this page? ;) García-Arenal, Mercedes; Wiegers, Gerard (2007). A Man of Three Worlds: Samuel Pallache, a Moroccan Jew in Catholic and Protestant Europe. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.

There is no "tradition" linking the Rembrandt painting to Pallache. This is a misconception probably created because the English translation of his biography used this picture on its cover (but the book itself doesn't say a word about a portrait by Rembrandt, and the Spanish original used another picture). There is no mention of this identification on the painting's page by the Rembrandt database (), nor on its museum's page (). The ANU-museum page is not a reliable source about Rembrandt's paintings (and may have simply reproduced the information from wikipedia) - not to mention that it confuses the sultans Ahmad al-Mansur and Zidan Abu Maali, so it is also not a reliable source about Pallache. (Besides, one has to wonder why Rembrandt would have made the portrait of a man about 20 years after the latter's death.) Phso2 (talk) 20:04, 17 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it makes sense for me too. Samuel Pallache is a character so complex, that much of the 'history' about him is shrouded in mystery and in legend, I believe. And, for that matter, so is the character of Rembrandt himself. If the attibution does not come from a reliable source, I believe it should be removed.
