Elena De Nasi

We know that Elena and Julia were two Nasi-Benveniste princesses of Benedetto de Nasi (the Great) of the Nasi-Benveniste lineage of Masters of Kabbalah. In a publication of the Harleian Society of Britain in 1878 they highlight a further insight into who Elena's family were. The caption with regard to her lineage was 'Ellen d. of Seign 'Masey of Italy' Yet we know she was the daughter of Benedetto de Nasi of Venice. Therefore we must consider that Benedetto's wife was a Masey, who was also named Elena.
