summary

R. Solomon ibn Adret (c.1235-c.1310) of Barcelona, Catalonia, was a disciple of the cousins R. Jonah and R. Moses Nachmanides of Gerona. After the departure of Nachmanides for the Land of Israel in the year 1267, Adret became the undisputed leader and spokesman of Spanish Jewry. His novellae, to Tractates Berachoth, Gitin and Chulin, along with the novellae to Bava Bathra by his teacher Nachmanides, remained the only “chidushim” from the School of Nachmanides to be published for almost two centuries
