French scholar of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; nasi of Narbonne. Meshullam sided with Judah al-Fakhkhar in his attacks on the works of Maimonides and the philosophers. Nevertheless, he blamed Al-Fakhkhar for the excessive ardor with which the latter fought the Maimonists, saying that among the latter there were many great and pious Jews. In a letter which he wrote to Al-Fakhkhar, Meshullam particularly asked him to be indulgent toward David Ḳimḥ Al-Fakhkhar yielded to his friend's request, assuring him that he would write nothing against Ḳimḥ
