Talk:Eleazar ben Kalir

Proper Spelling of Kalir's name
Eleazer (sic!) is a non-existent name. There is Eleazar (or more precisely El'azar) and Eliezer (or more precisely Eli'ezer). In the former case the final syllable is stressed, in the latter - the penultimate one. Eleazar berabbi (ben rabbi) Kalir (or Qallir) is the accepted spelling of the poet's name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliyyahu (talk • contribs) 03:21, 28/Sep/06.
 * ELEAZER is how it appears in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, although it is wrong. I do think this article deserves a name change since the subject is hardly ever called "ben Killir". -- -- -- 01:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There are over 27,000 hits on Google for Eleazar ben Kalir, and just over 7,000 hits for Eleazar ben KALLIR. I am personally more familiar with the ben Kalir spelling. As for the Eleazar, even though it is not a correct transliteration, it is the version most academic works use, so we should stick with it and include alternative spellings in the first line, as has been done.

"Ma'adanei Yom Tov"?
Could somebody please verify and expand this edit: what is Rosh to Brochos Siman 21? Is "Ma'adanei Yom Tov" mentioned by Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller, as I see in his Hebrew entry? RickJP 10:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Rick, I made some changes to the article. Rosh to Brochos Siman 21 means Asher ben Jehiel's commentary on Tractate Berakhot, ch. 5, part 21. "Ma'adanei Yom Tov" was authored by Rabbi Heller. Is the article clear now? -- -- -- 01:56, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Scientific Guidelines
This article does not conform to any scientific guidelines of Jewish Studies at all. The Rosh is not an authority on Jewish History. THe article should revert back to the Jewish Encyclopedia version pending real editing. --82.166.227.63 19:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I made some changes to the article. Are you satisfied with it now? (More changes and wikification are on the way, God-willing). -- -- -- 02:02, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. I think I'm finished with this article for now. -- -- -- 00:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

His city
If he himself mentions his city as Kirjath-sepher, how can others place him elsewhere? The answer is, I believe, that he may have lived in different places at different times. Because of original research, however, I don't think this can be inserted into the article yet unless someone finds a source. -- -- -- 02:06, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Kalir or Killir
The page's title, and most of the text, uses the spelling Killir. But the article itself points out, In the acrostics of his hymns he usually signs his father's name, Kalir, but three times he writes Killir. It would seem to make sense then to move the page and change the spelling used.

Going by the Google results count, Eleazar ben Killir has about 1230 results (and a did you mean), while Eleazar ben Kalir has about 16700 results. Scimonster (talk) 20:16, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
