| Abstract: | Talmudic thought in medieval Ashkenaz effectively begins with Gershom ben Judah, or Rabbenu Gershom as he is usually called. He headed the academy at Mainz and composed a talmudic commentary (embellished by his successors at Mainz) as well as liturgical poems and many responsa. Rabbenu Gershom is perhaps best known, however, for the series of ordinances attributed to him, which deal with a wide variety of issues including polygamy, personal privacy, and communal government.
