Problem
editI have a problem with this sentence:
Samuel ben Samson visited 'Akbara during his 1210 Palestine pilgrimage, he described the tomb of Rabbi Meir he had found there.
Source: Elkan Nathan Adler (4 April 2014). Jewish Travellers. Routledge. pp. 103–110. ISBN 978-1-134-28606-5.
Alas, in the Rabbi Meir article have a sentence:
The first clear mention of a tomb of Rabbi Meir in this place [=Tiberias] was made in the early 13th century by Samuel ben Samson, but he also mentioned a tomb of Rabbi Meir in Jish, as did many other writers in the following centuries.
Source: Dan Ben-Amos (2006). Folktales of the Jews. Vol. 1. Jewish Publication Society. pp. 73–78.
So, how many places were Rabbi Meir buried?? Huldra (talk) 20:12, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Looking at google maps maybe Samuel ben Samson refers to Levitas Ish Yavne Tomb. Infinity Knight (talk) 22:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, well, this doesn't change the fact that he reported it two places....Do you have the sources? If so, could you please check what sources the writers, that is Dan Ben-Amo and Elkan Nathan Adler, gives? Huldra (talk) 23:07, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Here is pretty good copy of the source. Infinity Knight (talk) 01:50, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

- On the previous page he mentions a tomb of Rabbi Meir between Bethsean and Tiberias. A tomb of R. Meir near Tiberias is in several other itineraries in Adler's book as well. Actually it is commonplace for rabbis to have multiple "tombs". It might be better to write such things into articles as traditions rather to tell our readers that these people were really buried in multiple places, or even in one of the specified places.

- Apparently Meir and Nehurai/Nehorai are synonyms. However Rabbi Meir and Nehorai are different rabbis. Traditionally the tombs of Yannai, Nehorai and Dostai are 250m from the Acbara springs marked here on Google Maps. See also the list of all tombs. Infinity Knight (talk) 23:03, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
