HILLEL, the nass, or prince, another learned Jew, the grandson of Judas Hakkadosh, or the Saint, the author of the Mishna, lived in the fourth century. He composed a cycle; and was one of the principal doctors of the Gamara. The greatest number of the Jewish writers attribute to him the correct edition of the Hebrew text which bears the name of Hillel, which we have already mentioned in the preceding article. There have been several other Jewish writers of the same name.
