Rash

Rav Shimon of Sens was born in France in 1150, and emigrated to Israel in the face of persecution in 1211, where he lived until his death in 1230. He was one of the Ba'alei Tosafot, and his lectures have been published separately as Tosafot Shantz. His commentary on the Mishna appears alongside those tractates which lack Talmudic discussion. His teachers were Rabbeinu Tam, and Ri HaZakein, and his students included the author of the Semak.
