• Passing of R. Yehoshua of Cracow (1648)
R. Yehoshua was one of the leading Polish scholars of his
day, and was held in great reverence by his contemporaries. He led a Talmudic
academy in Cracow which attracted many noteworthy disciples (such as R. Shabtai HaKohen, the Shach).
R. Yehoshua authored Maginei
Shlomo, devoted to answering the difficulties raised by the Tosafist scholars against Rashi in his Talmud commentary. He also authored
a collection of halachic responsa titled Pnei
Yehoshua (not to be confused with the Talmudic commentary of the same name
authored by his great-grandson, R. Yaakov Yehoshua [see entry for 14 Shevat]).
