Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki of Troyes (1040-1105) is the bridge between the Talmud and every Jew who has ever opened one since. His daughters Yocheved, Miriam, and Rachel were also learned — Rashi reportedly let them lay tefillin, scandalous for the era. The “Rashi script” used to typeset his commentary is now the default for printed rabbinic literature.
