Simon ben Judah Löb Peiser
Simon ben Judah Löb Peiser (Hebrew: שמעון בן יהודה ליב פייזר; born c. 1690 in Peisern) was a rabbi and scholar active in Lissa, Poland.
He is known as the author of Naḥalat Shim'oni, a reference work divided into four sections:[1]
- A Biblical onomasticon, referencing all aggadot found in Babylonian Talmud, Midrash Rabbah, and the Five Megillot, with marginal notes titled ‘En Rogel, which provide references to parallel passages;
- An onomasticon of all the rabbis of the Mishnah who appear in the Babylonian Talmud;
- An onomasticon of the rabbis of the baraitot; and
- An onomasticon of the Amoraim.
The first two sections were published in Wandsbeck in 1728.[2] The third and fourth sections, as well as a Talmudic methodology, remained unpublished.
