SAMUEL BEN SOLOMON OF FALAISE
- SAMUEL BEN SOLOMON OF FALAISE
- SAMUEL BEN SOLOMON OF FALAISE (Sir Morel;
13th century), tosafist. All that is known of Samuel's father
is that he was a scholar, as was his father-in-law Abraham b. Ḥayyim
ha-Kohen, possibly the son of the tosafist Ḥayyim ha-Kohen . His
teachers included judah Sir Leon, Solomon of Dreux, and
baruch b. isaac of worms . He wrote a commentary on the
kerovah El Elohei ha-Ruḥot le-Khol Basar in which he explains
all the Passover laws in the piyyut according to the
traditions of the elders of Falaise and Dreux. Samuel's teachings are
incorporated in the Or Zaru'a of his colleague,
isaac b. moses of vienna . Samuel was patently apprehensive about
rendering halakhic decisions and hesitated to permit what it had been
customary to forbid, even when he was certain that the custom was an
erroneous one and not a definite tradition. The most eminent of his
pupils was meir b. baruch of rothenburg . The standard
tosafot mention Samuel only in the tosafot to the
tractates Pesaḥim and Yoma, but the standard
tosafot to Avodah Zarah are simply adaptations of
his tosafot and often quote him verbatim. His biblical
exegesis is included in the various collections of the biblical
commentaries of the tosafists. He was a participant in the
disputation in Paris with nicholas donin .
