Trillinger, Eliezer ben Joseph Yospa
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Austrian rabbi; lived in the latter half of the seventeenth and at the beginning of the eighteenth century; died at Wilna. The name "Trillinger" is probably derived from "Wassertrüdingen," called by the Jews "Wassertrilling" or "Trilling." Trillinger was active in several congregations. At an advanced age he set out for Palestine, but on his way he fell ill at Wilna and, as stated above, died there. He was the author of "Mishnat Rabbi Eli'ezer," derashot on the Pentateuch, published by his son Joseph Yospa at Frankfort-on-the-Oder in 1707 (not 1717, as erroneously stated by some bibliographical authors).
