Yair Bacharach

The following was originally from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. As such, it may not yet be properly adapted to Encyclopedian (obsolete, typos, no accidental links, etc.). It is included as a stub of sorts to inspire people to modify it:

Yair Bacharach (1639—1702), German rabbi, was the author of Havvot Yair (a collection of Responsa.) and other works. Bacharach was a man of wide culture, and holds an honourable place among the pioneers of the Jewish Renaissance[?] which was inaugurated towards the end of the 18th century.
