Solomon b. Samuel Ha-Dayyan Ha-Levi

שלמה בן שמואל הדיין הלוי

13th Century

Some works penned by this scribe:

Bodleian, MS Pococke 97, 233, 235, 237, 237, 238: these volumes, which include MS Pococke 238 which is included in HebrewPal, are six volumes of an (incomplete) copy of Maimonides' Commentary on the Mishna;

Escorial, G III 2: this is a codex of Mishpatim from Maimonides' Mishneh Torah;

CUL T-S K6.142: in this remarkable fragment, we see our scribe (who writes his own name) copying a colophon by the famous scribe Samuel b. Jacob, thought to be an example of the imitation of the hands of renowned calligraphers as a way of learning their style;

(suggested) Philadelphia, Halper 134: this fragment appears to be a writing exercise and is signed by שמואל הדיין המשכי[ל].

Finally, our scribe is mentioned in CUL T-S 8J6.9; see Goitein, Mediterranean Society II.
