MARGOLIOTH, JACOB

MARGOLIOTH, JACOB
MARGOLIOTH, JACOB (d. between 1499 and 1512), rabbi of Regensburg (Ratisbon), originally from worms . In 1497 he corresponded with johannes reuchlin on kabbalistic literature. Margolioth was considered a halakhic authority by his contemporaries and praised by them. His son SAMUEL, father of the apostate anton margarita , succeeded him as rabbi of Regensburg until the expulsion in 1519; he subsequently moved to Posen (Poznan), where he served as av betdin of Great Poland until after 1537. Another of Jacob's sons, ISAAC EIZIK (d. 1525), was a member of the bet din of R. jacob pollak of Prague. Jacob's Seder Gittin ve-Ḥaliẓah has been preserved in two copies, one made by his son Isaac (Bodl. Ms. 2010/3) and the other by his son SHALOM SHAKHNA under the title Yam she-Asah Shelomo (Bodl. Ms. 803). Part of his work was printed at the end of Tur Even ha-Ezer (Berlin, 1702). A privilege of Frederick III dated 1487 mentions a second JACOB MARGOLIOTH (d. before 1492), of Nuremberg. A halakhic declaration by him is noted in the responsa of R. judah minz (no. 13), on the legality of a declaration of refusal (me'un) to marry. R. elijah capsali named Jacob Margolioth as one of the supporters of R. moses capsali in his bitter controversy (1475–80) with R. joseph colon (Likkutim Shonim, 1869, p. 16), but it is unclear to which of the two he was referring. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: M.
