Yaaqov ben Yitsḥaq Ashkenazi

Rabbi Yaaqov ben Yitsḥaq Ashkenazi (1550–1625), of Janów (near Lublin, Poland), was the author of the Tsenah uR'enah, a Yiddish-language prose work written around the 1590s whose structure parallels the weekly portions of the Pentateuch and Haftorahs used in Shabbat services.
