In the fourteenth century, Hilkhot Ha-Rif served as the basic pedagogical text for many Torah scholars in Ashkenaz and in France. This is becoming evident through the large number of Ashkenazic manuscripts of the Rif. Because the Rif's understanding of the Talmud and his Halakhic rulings differed from the Ashkenazic tradition, many of these manuscripts contain commentary that provided learners with Rashi's view on one side of Hilkhot Ha-Rif, and Tosafot and Ashkenazic halakhic rulings on the other side. In this article, we examine Manuscript Mantova -- Comunita Israelitica ebr. 30, which is identical in its contents to Manuscript Paris -- Bibliothèque Nationale héb. 314. Both manuscripts were written in the 14th century in France. Alongside the Rif they contain Tosafot and a commentary. For a long time the Tosafot in Paris 314 were attributed to Rabbi Moshe ben Yom Tov of London. However, this attribution has been rejected by prominent academic authorities. Contrary to their view, because Mantova 30 is a more voluminous manuscript than Paris 314, we contend that it is possible to prove that Rabbi Moshe ben Yom Tov indeed authored the Tosafot in both manuscripts and that his writings refer to the Rif. Although we cannot be certain exactly what portions of the Tosafot can be attributed to him, we have no doubt that he was the author of a large portion of the Tosafot in this manuscript. The commentary in the manuscripts consists mainly of Rashi's commentary on the Talmud. But, in some tractates, we find commentary by Rabbi Yehudah ben Natan (Riban) and Rabbi Shmuel ben Meir (Rashbam). However, the unknown author of these commentaries presents his own ideas on various topics. We find highly noteworthy his ideas concerning the relationship of the Jews and the gentile community.
