- DANIEL BEN SAMUEL IBN ABĪ RABĪʿ (Ha-Kohen
(13th century), Babylonian gaon. He was appointed
in 1247 in succession to R. Isaac b. Israel (Abu al-Fath or Isḥaq ibn
al-Shuwayk), by Abd al-Raḥman ibn al-Lamkhani, the Baghdad
qadi. There was opposition to Daniel, especially by R. Eli b.
Zechariah, who succeeded in persuading the vizier that the office of
gaon was rightfully his and who was, in fact, appointed
gaon in Daniel's place in 1250.
eleazar b. jacob ha-bavli , the poet, praises Daniel in one of his
poems. His son samuel also became gaon.
