Shimon bar Yitsḥaq of Mainz  Shimon bar Yitsḥaq of MainzShimon bar Yitsḥaq (also, Simeon bar Isac; ca. 950-ca. 1020), born in Mainz, Germany, was a scholar of his time. As a paytan he composed yotserot, qerovot, seliḥot, hymns, and rashuyyot le-ḥatanim. It is probable that he sang his piyutim himself. His piyutim bare traces of the language found in early piyutim, and they are marked by the pain of the persecutions of the Jews in bar Isaac's lifetime.
