French liturgical poet. He wrote a "reshut" in Aramaic which was recited with the Targum of the hafṭarah for the Feast of Weeks, and which consisted of sixty half-lines riming with 
. The reshut is signed "Samuel ha-Ketabi." Gross explains this ambiguous designation as follows: The name of Samuel's native city, Chartres, is very similar to the old French word "charte" (document, charter), which may be translated in Aramaic by "ketab."
