might be best to contact them ?

came across this

The next known secular record of the name is of
the broker, Isaac Shaltiel who is mentioned in an
18TH century document published by the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York. The document
is an agreement between the broker Abraham Abu
Rabon, who represents his partners in the brokerage
firm of Luca, and between the brokers Isaac Shaltiel,
Jacob Amira and Moses Ibn Azu, who represent
the other party in the matter, that is the firm of
the English merchant Thomas & Son.
