French scholar of the twelfth century; a member of the family of Menahem Meïri of Perpignan. He was a native of Carcassonne, whence his father took him to Provence, where he soon became one of the most distinguished pupils of Abraham David (RaBaD) of Posquières. After settling at Trinquetaille, a suburb of Arles, he composed the following two works: "Sefer ha-'Ezer," a defense of Alfasi against the attacks of Zerahiah b. Isaac ha-Levi Gerondi; "Ḥibbur ha-Muḳẓeh," a treatise enumerating all the things that may not be touched on Sabbaths and feast-days.
