SOLOMON DE VESOUL:

Son of Manessier de Vesoul, who died in 1375 or 1378. By a decree of Charles V., the Wise, he was appointed clerk and tax-gatherer for the Jews of France (Aug. 9, 1378). Like his father and brothers, Solomon was in high favor at court, and received many proofs of the royal esteem; among other privileges conferred upon him was that of immunity from the obligation of wearing the Jews' badge, which privilege was shared by the members of his family.

S. J. Ka.
