13th century German scholar, author of a Halachic compendium bearing the same name. Mordechai was a primary student of Maharam M'Rotenberg and a son-in-law of R' Yechiel of Paris. His work, known simply as "The Mordechai", is a compilation of Halakhic rulings and customs enacted by the great sages of that and preceding generations. It follows the order of Rif's "Sefer Halachot", and is printed immediately after the Rif in the Vilna Shas. Being that the author collected the material but did not actually publish it in final form, there are two vastly different versions of this work — the Rhenish edition and the Austrian edition. Our editions of Talmud contain the Rhenish version, which is the shorter of the two. Mordechai was martyred together with his entire family in 1298 during the "Rhindfleish" massacres in Nuremberg.
