Mordechai
From Halachipedia
Klalim
- Rabbeinu Mordechai ben Hillel was a student of Maharam Rotenberg.
- Most of the Mordechai commentary on the Rif is based on Tosafot.[1]
- Unfortunately, the text of the Mordechai is home to many copyist errors, so the Bach warns one cannot deduce much from his challenging articulations.[2]
- Even though they were colleagues, the "Rosh" quoted by the Mordechai does not refer to the Rosh, R' Asher ben Yechiel, but rather the Rosh MiFalise or MiLunelle.[3]
