BENJAMIN BEN SAMUEL HA-LEVI
- BENJAMIN BEN SAMUEL HA-LEVI
- BENJAMIN BEN SAMUEL HA-LEVI (of Coutances; early
11th century), rabbi and liturgical poet. Benjamin lived in
Coutances, Normandy. His poems are composed in the style of the old
piyyutim and are, at times, of considerable artistic
distinction. Benjamin wrote piyyutim for the three pilgrimage
festivals, Rosh Ha-Shanah, and the Day of Atonement. Some of his poems
are included in the Maḥzor Romania. Benjamin was regarded as
a talmudic authority and was often quoted by contemporary talmudic
scholars.
