Solomon ben Meir

Rabbi Solomon ben Meir (Hebrew: שלמה בן מאיר, romanized: Rabbi Shlomo ben Meir) was Rashi's grandson. He was born after Rashi's death and is therefore named for his grandfather. He was one of the Tosafot.

Biography

Rabbi Solomon was the son of Rabbi Meir ben Samuel and Jochebed. He was brother to Jacob (known as Rabbeinu Tam),[1] Samuel (known as Rashbam) and Isaac (known as Rivam). His year of birth is unknown but it was after 1104.

He wrote a commentary on the Torah cited in the book Arugat Habosem by Rabbi Abraham ben Azriel.

He is mentioned once in Tsoafot, in Pesachim.[2] Rashi's commentary on the Talmud implies that he may have compiled a book of halachic rulings.[3] he is also mentioned once in Haggahot Maimuniyyot.[4] In Machzor Vitry[5] he is described as the person who announced the death of Rabbi Yosef, the son of Rabbeinu Tam.[6]

He was an expert in Hebrew grammar and is known as "The father of grammar."

Rabbi Solomon passed away at a young age in Dampierre, France.
