R' Yehudah Ibn Tibbon never wearied of praising R' Meshullam's zeal in investigating the various branches of knowledge. R' Meshullam was the father of the renowned R' Asher ben Meshullam HaKohen. R' Meshullam's disciples include the Raavad and the Baal Hama'or. R' Meshullam died in Lunel in 1170. (en)
