Isaac ben Jacob Lattes was a rabbi who lived in Provence. In 1340 he wrote Toledot Yi??a?, in which he gives valuable information concerning other Provençal authors and discusses the history of tradition. This work is known also by the name Sha'are ?iyyon (ed. S. Buber, Yaroslav, 1885). He wrote also ?iryat Sefer, a commentary on the Pentateuch (Benjacob, O?ar ha-Sefarim; Zunz, Z. G. p. 479; S. Buber, in the preface to Sha'are ?iyyon).
