- DANIEL BEN JEHIEL OF ROME (d. before 1101), rabbinical
scholar, elder brother of nathan b. jehiel . On the death of their
father, in approximately 1070, he and Nathan became heads of the Rome
yeshivah. Daniel wrote responsa, and many of the explanations of words
in his brother's lexicon Arukh are quoted in his name. He
also compiled a commentary on the Mishnah order of Zera'im.
Zunz ascribes to him the authorship of the piyyut for the
Sabbath of Ḥanukkah, beginning Ahallel El be-Minnim ve-Ugav,
a poetical version of the Scroll of Antiochus.
