Eliezer of Touques
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or French tosafist; lived at Touques in the second half of the thirteenth century. He abridged the tosafot of Samson of Sens, Samuel of Evreux, and many others, and added thereto marginal notes of his own, entitled "Gilyon Tosafot," or "Tosafot Gillayon." This abridgment, together with the notes, after undergoing many alterations and receiving several additions from later authorities, was called "Tosafot ?uk"; it forms the foundation of the Tosafot now printed with the Talmud (see Hillel ben Mordecai, 'Ab. Zarah, � 1295; Judah ben Eliezer, "Min?at Yehudah," 58a; R. Nissim to Alfasi, Gi?.; and Bezalel Ashkenazi, "Shi??ah," pp. 47-49). Gershon Soncino, who printed Eliezer's tosafot for the first time, says, in the preface to ?im?i's "Miklol" edited by him (Constantinople, 1532-34), that he collected them in various places in France, especially in Chamb�ry, Savoy. Eliezer was also the author of a commentary on the Pentateuch, mentioned in a list of works appended to the manuscript of Ibn Jana?'s "Sefer ha-Ri?mah," now in the Biblioth�que Nationale, Paris (No. 1216).
