Isaac Hilo

Isaac Chelo (also Hilo, Hilu or Khelo), in Hebrew יצחק חילו, was a rabbi of the 14th century. His place of residence is unclear. Eliakim Carmoly, in his French supposed translation of Chelo's itinerary, wrote "Laresa du royaume d'Aragon", However, Dan Shapira took it to mean Larissa in Thessaly. French scholar Eliakim Carmoly published an account titled Les chemins de Jérusalem (The Roads from Jerusalem, שבילי דירושלם in Hebrew), purporting to be Chelo's description of Jerusalem and seven roads leading from it, written in 1333. An English translation was published by Elkan Adler in 1930.

Carmoly wrote that the original Hebrew manuscript was in his own library, but when his library was catalogued after his death, no such manuscript was found.

Scholem examined the library in 1925 and found nine lines of an 18th-century copy of the itinerary. On this basis, Scholem judged the itinerary to be a forgery, written or greatly expanded by Carmoly himself. Dan Shapira, and Yoel Elitzur.

Prawer also alleged that there was no Jewish community in Hebron at the time the Itinerary claimed to describe one.
