אלכסנדר זוסלין הכהן

Alexander Suslin Ha-Kohen. Talmudist.

He taught in his native Efurt and also in Worms, Cologne and Frankfurt on Main. He was living in Frankfurt in 1345 but then resettled in Erfurt where he died the death of a martyr. He is the last of the early German halakhic authorities.His best known work is Agudda, which collects his legal decisions and arranges them according to the order of the tractates of the Talmud. Under the pressures of the expulsions and persecutions of his time, it is written very concisely.
