Page "Tosafot" Paragraph 7

The most prominent tosafist immediately after Jacob Tam was his pupil and relative Isaac ben Samuel ha-Zaḳen ( RI ) of Dampierre, whose tosafot form a part of the Tosafot Yeshanim ( see below ).

Isaac was succeeded by his pupil Samson ben Abraham of Sens ( d. about 1235 ), who, besides enriching the literature with his own compositions, revised those of his predecessors, especially his teacher's, and compiled them into the group known as the Tosafot of Sens.

Samson's fellow pupil Judah b. Isaac of Paris ( Sir Leon ) was also very active ; he wrote tosafot to several Talmudic treatises, of which those to Berakot were published at Warsaw ( 1863 ); some of those to ' Abodah Zarah are extant in manuscript.

Among the many French tosafists deserving special mention was Samuel ben Solomon of Falaise ( Sir Morel ), who, owing to the destruction of the Talmud in France in his time, relied for the text entirely upon his memory ( Meïr of Rothenburg, Responsa, No. 250 ).
