Northern France — exact town unrecorded
Northern France (the regions of Champagne and the Île-de-France) was, from the eleventh through the thirteenth centuries, the heartland of the Tosafist school of Talmudic study, beginning with Rashi of Troyes and continuing through his descendants and disciples. This node represents medieval northern French Jewry broadly; the Torah commentator Rabbi Chizkiyah ben Manoach (the Chizkuni) worked in this milieu in the thirteenth century. The exact town is not specified.
