11 A spurious Rashi genealogy from Johanan ha-Sandlar was worked out in Italy at the end of the seventeenth century. In Appendix I is given a table of the connections and immediate descendants of Rashi. In chap. XII, p.212 <I>et seq.</I> there are references concerning some of his later and more doubtful descendants. 12 For this passage, see p.112. 13 See pp.61-2. Also Berliner, <I>Aus dem Leben der deutschen Juden.</I> The data that follow are taken from the Kolbo, the <I>Mahzor Vitry,</I> and other sources cited by Zunz, <I>Zur Geschichte,</I> pp.167 <I>et seq.</I> 14 See p.81. 15 See Epstein, <I>Die nach Raschi genannten Gebaude in Worms.</I> 16 This is the epoch which marks the arrival of Jews in Great Britain. They went there, it seems, In the suite of William the Conqueror (1066) - They always remained in touch with their co-religionists on the Continent, and were sometimes called by these "the Jews of the Island." For a while they enjoyed great prosperity, which, joined to their religious propaganda, drew upon them the hatred of the clergy. Massacred in 1190, exploited and utterly ruined in the thirteenth century, they were finally exiled in 1290. 17 See p.39. 18 Surnamed "Segan Leviya," supposed--doubtless incorrectly--to have come originally from Vitry in Champagne. He was a very conscientious pupil of Eliezer the Great. Died about 1070. 19 He is the author of the famous Aramaic poem read at the Pentecost, beginning with the words <I>Akdamot Millin.</I> He must not be confounded with his contemporary of the same name, Meir ben Isaac (of Orleans?), to whom also some liturgic poems are attributed. Another rabbi of Orleans, Isaac ben Menahem (according to Gross, <I>Gallia judaica,</I> pp.32-3, probably the father of Meir), was older than Rashi, who quotes some of his Talmudic explanations, and some of the notes written on his copy of the Talmud. There is nothing to prove, as Gross maintains, that Rashi was his pupil. It is not even certain that he knew him personally. 20 See p.77 for Rashi's relations to his teachers. 21 A Responsum signed by Rashi shows that he was the tutor of the children of a certain Joseph, whose father had been administrator of the community.
