David ben Samuel of Estelle (Kohkavi or Kokabi, meaning "star-like" as "Estella," d. ca 1340.) was a Provençal Jewish scholar, talmudist, and author of a literary history of rabbinical scholarship known as the Qiryat Sefer (City of the Book) from France.[1][2][3] He was in Avignon around 1305.[4] He is a follower of Maimonides and surveys the Geonim, the Tosafists, the scholars of Narbonne and Provence, and briefly mentions Meir of Rothenburg.[5][1] He was cited with high approval by Isaac Lattes. He is the author of Migdal Dawid (Castle of David), on Jewish theology.[2] It expounds the Jewish principles of faith and is patterned after Maimonides' Book of Commandments.[6][7][8]
