Judah of Melun

Judah of Melun

Judah of Melun was a French rabbi, a "tosafist" of the first half of the thirteenth century; he was son of the tosafist David of Melun (from the area of Seine-et-Marne).

In Perez of Corbeil's "tosafot" to Baba Ḳamma (ed. Leghorn, p. 53a) he is quoted under the name "Judah of Melun." After 1224 he took charge of the Talmud school at Melun

He was one of the four rabbis who defended the "Talmud" against Nicholas Donin in the public disputation at Paris in 1240.
