Chushiel

Portion of Cairo Genizah letter from Ḥushiel from the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia.

Ḥushiel ben Elḥanan was president of the beth midrash at Kairouan, Tunisia toward the end of the 10th century. He was probably born in Italy, but his origins and travels remain obscure, and his eventual arrival in Kairwan is the subject of a well-known story.
