Finzi's astronomical tables were published under the title Luḥot, probably before 1480.[2] He wrote glosses to Efodi's Hebrew grammar, Ḥesheb ha-Efod.

He also translated a number of mathematical books into Hebrew, such as a work of geometry under the title Ḥokmat ha-Medidah, and the Book of Algebra of Abu Kamil under the title Taḥbulat ha-Mispar.[3]
