Simlai
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Rabbi Simlai was a talmudic sage who lived in Palestine in the 3rd century. The calculation of 613 Mitzvot is attributed to him.[1] He was a student of Rabbi Judah II, the grandson of Judah I, the author of the Mishnah. A famous Haggadist, Simlai endeavored to induce Judah II to abrogate the prohibition against using bread prepared by pagans. One of the earliest polemicists against Christianity, he engaged Origen in a debate on the Trinity.[2]
