About Eliezer of Toul

Eliezer of Toul (d. before 1234) was a 13th-century French Tosafist.
Born in Toul, France, in his early years, he studied under Isaac ben Samuel, later moving to Boppard, Germany where he tutored Hizkiyyahu ben Reuven, a wealthy Jewish merchant. Hizkiyyahu later refused to pay Eliezer, and the matter become infamous amongst local rabbis.
