Meir HaKohen

Meir HaKohen[1] was a German rabbinical scholar of the end of the thirteenth century.[2] He authored Hagahot Maimuniot[1] (or Haggahot Maimuniyyot[2]) (הגהות מיימוניות, abbreviated הגהמי"י) on Maimonides' Mishneh Torah. Giulio Bartolocci[3] mistakenly identifies him with Meïr Ha-Kohen, a French scholar of the same century.[2] He was a student of Meir of Rothenburg.[4]

Works

Hagahot Maimuniot, authored by Meir HaCohen, is one of the most important sources for the halachic rulings of medieval Ashkenazi rabbis. It takes the form of a running commentary on the Mishneh Torah by Maimonides, and nowadays commonly appears at the bottom of the page in many printed editions of Mishneh Torah. There is also a section entitled Teshuvot Maimuniot which appears at the end of each book of Mishneh Torah.[4]
