Volume 11 · 94 words · 1823 Edition

SOLOMON, otherwise Raschi and Isaaki Solomon, a famous rabbi, born at Troyes in Champagne, who flourished in the 12th century. He was a perfect master of the talmud and gemara; and he filled the postils of the bible with so many talmudical reveries, as totally extinguished both the literal and moral sense of it. A great part of his commentaries are printed in Hebrew, and some have been translated into... into Latin by the Christians. They are generally esteemed by the Jews, who have bestowed on the author the title of prince of commentators.
