Tell me more ×  Today, in a shiur, I heard someone quote an
opinion of the "קדוש מרדוש" (pronounced "Kadosh Meradoosh", I

quotes him, so apparently he's a rishon. This is likely the same
person who R' Akiva Eiger in Gittin (4th chapter) calls מהר"י
מרדוש.  Who is the author of this work and when was it written?
Is it an independant work or just someone whose shitot are
quoted by others?  In what form was this work written (i.e. a
perush on Talmud, an explanation on Mishnah, a sefer
Halacha...)?  share|improve this question Don't know which tags
