Moses of Evreux
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or French tosafist, and author of a siddur ("Semaḳ" No. 154); flourished in the first half of the thirteenth century. Moses is generally supposed to have been the son of Yom-Ṭob, referred to in Elijah Mizraḥi's responsa (No. 82); but Gross identifies him with Moses ben Shneor, the teacher of the author of "Sefer ha-Gan," a commentary on the Pentateuch. Moses was the older brother and teacher of the tosafist Samuel of Evreux (Tos. to Beáºah 21b, to 'Er. 6b, and to Soá¹ah 22a). The "Tosafot of Evreux," much used by tosafists, was his work. He is quoted in the tosafot on Berakot, and his name is frequently written 
(Tos. to Soá¹ah. 22a; "Shiá¹á¹ah Meḳubbeáºet" on B. Ḳ. 3a et passim). His tosafot are called also "Shiá¹á¹ah of Evreux" ("Teshubot Mahram," No. 608). Moses wrote his tosafot on the margin of a copy of Isaac Alfasi, whose authority he invoked (Tos. to Ber. 26b).
