Meir ben Jacob HaKohen Schiff was a German rabbi and talmudist. His father was Jacob Schiff. At the age of seventeen, he was appointed rabbi in Fulda, where he composed his commentary on the entire Talmud. He was a severe critic of pilpul (a method of talmudic study that became popular in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries), and attacked many of his contemporaries including Solomon Luria, Meir of Lublin, Samuel Edels, and also earlier authorities like Rashi, Isaac bar Sheshet and Mordekhai. Schiff also wrote sermons on the Torah. Much of his writings are lost, including notes on the Arba'ah Turim, his kabbalistic works, talmudic rulings.
