Samuel of Évreux

Samuel of Évreux was a prominent figure in 13th-century French Judaism, notable for his contributions as a tosafist. His intellectual pursuits were influenced by his family, particularly his older brother Moses of Évreux, a renowned author of the tosafot of Évreux. Samuel's association with his brother extended beyond familial ties, as he was also a student of Moses, suggesting a significant scholarly exchange between the two.

He is believed to be the same individual as Samuel ben Shneor, whose explanations on the topic of Nazir have been cited by Solomon ben Aderet. Furthermore, his authority is invoked by Jonah Gerondi, indicating the respect and recognition he garnered within the scholarly community. Through these citations and references, Samuel of Évreux's impact on the development of Jewish thought and scholarship during the 13th century is underscored.
