Formerly, Yehiel was believed to have died either in the Land of Israel, or on board ship en route to Israel.[3] His date of death is given variously as early as 1265 or as late as 1292[3] Other dates.

Legacy edit

Issue edit

At least two children of Yehiel are known, and several others are disputed.[citation needed]

His eldest son was Yosef, named for his father.[11] Yosef is best known for his journey to the Holy Land...[12]

Yosef and Dieu-le-sault/Délicieux may be/probably identical.

Gross[13] Delicieux: Asaf (interpreting תוצאות ארץ ישראל only)[14]

[b]

Other sons assigned to Yehiel are Eliezer, Avraham, Isaac, Benjamin and Samuel,[17] though all of these have been disputed.

Asher ben Yechiel (ben Uri, of Germany), a disciple of Yehiel's contemporary, Meir of Rothenburg, was thought by Giovanni Bernardo de Rossi[18] to have been the son of Yehiel (ben Yosef, of Paris);[19] as was Yehiel's disiple Perez ben Elijah, due to a misprint, corrected in later editions,[20] in Abraham Zacuto's Yuḥasin.[21] Another questionable son is Eliezer, proposed by Gross [13] (who noted Steinschneider's doubts[22]) but asserted by Emanuel to be the product of a cataloging error[23] by Giuseppe Simone Assemani.[24]

Of his sons-in-law, the best known is Isaac of Corbeil, author of Sefer HaMitzvot.[25] Mordechai ben Hillel, author of the Mordechai, was formerly believed to have been Yehiel son-in-law.[26]

Legends edit

According to legend, as recorded in Gedaliah ibn Yahya's Shalshelet HaKabbalah,[39] Yechiel was learned in practical kabbalah and performed miracles. According to Ibn Yahya, Yechiel had a lamp that would be lit every Sabbath Eve and would burn, without oil, for the entire week. Rumor of the magical lamp reached the King, who summoned Yechiel to question him...

Legend of wine... The legend of the wine is not unique to Yehiel; similar legends are told about Maimonides[39] and others.[40]

OR? According to Carmoly, the legends of Yechiel are typical of the fantastic account of medieval historians, the likes of which can be found throughout Ibn Yahya's book, and are completely fictitious, although Basnage took them for historical fact, suggesting that the lamp used phosphorus.[41]

Israel Abrahams, though admitting that Yechiel's lamp and door device [c] are legendary, believes that they give evidence of his reputation for artistic craft.[42]

Kohut suggested the "seductive theory" that the story Yechiel's lamp, [d] though "one of many quaint legends of the Middle Ages", is perhaps a reference to radium.[43]

Eliphas Lévi writes of Yechiel's magic lamp and nail, and of his interaction with the king, and believes that he had mastered the basics of electricity. Arthur Edward Waite, in his annotated translation of Levi's Histoire de la Magie, attributes the story of Rabbi Yechiel to Giulio Bartolocci,[44] and ultimately to Ibn Yahya, (and elements thereof to Garinet, citing Sauval) and asserts that Yechiel's device for throwing unwelcome visitors to the floor was neither magical nor electrical, merely a trapdoor. He[45]

Jewish folklorist Abraham Moses Tendlau [de] records the story in his Buch der Sagen und Legenden Jüdischer Vorzeit,[46] Berdiczewski

The legend of Yechiel's hammer and nail, as related by Sauval, is the source of the legendary rabbi "Zéchiélé" and his magical hammer mentioned by Claude Frollo[49] in Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame;[50][51] and explain Frollo's reference, immediately prior, to the magic lamp of Cassiodorus.[50] [e]

Notes edit

  1. ^ Manuscripts of the Asheri have מארץ האי‎ "from the Land of the Island"; the parallel passage in Tosafot HaRosh has מארץ הגר‎ "from the Land of Hagar"[5]—the Medieval Hebrew names of England[6] and Hungary, respectively[7]—while the first edition and manuscripts of Tosafot HaRosh have ארץ הגי‎, a meaningless and obviously mangled phrase.[8][9] Also Elbogen 108, 217[10]
  2. ^ Havatselet suggests an identification with Avraham ben Yehiel of Haifa[15] but this possibility is excluded by Kohen, who shows that this is chronologically impossible.[16]
  3. ^ Which he describes as a "patent lock"
  4. ^ In Kohut's retelling, revealed to be "a shining stone"[43]
  5. ^ The comparison between Ibn Yahya tale of Yechiel and Hugo's Zéchiélé was also drawn by Jewish folklorist Abraham Moses Tendlau [de], who records the story in his Buch der Sagen und Legenden Jüdischer Vorzeit.[46]
