ELIEZER BEN SAMUEL OF VERONA
- ELIEZER BEN SAMUEL OF VERONA
- ELIEZER BEN SAMUEL OF VERONA (early 13th century),
Italian tosafist. Eliezer was a pupil of Isaac b. Samuel of Dampierre
(Roke'aḥ 377) and the teacher of avigdor b. elijah
Kohen Ẓedek of Vienna. He was a colleague of eleazar b. judah of
Worms and of Abraham b. Moses of Regensburg. He wrote tosafot
to the Talmud, and those to Bava Batra (from 144b ff.) in
particular are attributed to him. One of his rulings gave rise to
considerable controversy. He permitted the widow of a certain Solomon b.
Jacob to remarry, seven years after he had disappeared when the ship in
which he was sailing sank near Pesaro in 1214. He sent his ruling to
"the communities of the Rhine and of Cologne," but Baruch b. Samuel of
Mainz forbade the agunah to remarry. After Baruch's death,
Abraham b. Moses of Mainz sent Eliezer's ruling to Eliezer b. Joel
ha-Levi, but he confirmed the prohibition (Sefer Ravyah, 4
(1965), 133–43). Eliezer's responsa to isaac b. moses of Vienna
(Or Zaru'a) are quoted in Zedekiah b. Abraham's Shibbolei
ha-Leket (ed. by S. Buber (1886), nos. 13, 237, and 247) and in
Sefer Issur ve-Hetter (no. 9) by the same author (published
in Ha-Segullah, 1, 1934). There is also mention of his
biblical exegesis (Zunz, in HB, 7 (1864), 20ff.). Isaac
Or Zaru'a calls Eliezer and isaiah di trani the Elder "the two
kings of Israel." hillel of Verona was his grandson.
