Moses of Évreux

Moses of Évreux

Moses of Évreux was a French tosafist, and author of a siddur,[1] who flourished at Évreux in Normandy in the first half of the thirteenth century, and was the older brother and teacher of the tosafist Samuel of Évreux.[2]

Gross identifies him with Moses ben Shneor, the teacher of the author of Sefer ha-Gan, a commentary on the Pentateuch. Others have generally supposed to him to be the son of Yom-Ṭov, referred to in Elijah Mizraḥi's responsa (No. 82).

The Tosafot of Évreux, much used by tosafists, was his work. He is quoted in the tosafot on Berakot, and his name is frequently written.[3] His tosafot are called also Shiṭṭah of Évreux.[4] Moses wrote his tosafot on the margin of a copy of Isaac Alfasi, whose authority he invoked.[5]
