Eliakim ben Meshullam
Edit ProfileCareer
Eliakim himself founded a Talmudical school in Speyer. He wrote a commentary on all the tractates of the Talmud except Berakot and Niddah (see Solomon Luria, Responsa, Number 29, and Asher ben Jehiel, Responsa, Rule 1, 8), which was used by scholars as late as the fourteenth century. At present there exists only the commentary on Yoma, in manuscript (Codex Munich, Number 216).
Ritual decisions by Eliakim are mentioned by Rashi ("Pardes," 42a, 44c, 48a).
He was the composer of a piyyuṭ, to be read when a circumcision takes place in the synagogue on a Saturday.
