Sources of Information
- Encyclopedia Judaica online, viewed May 29, 2018(Eliezer ben Isaac of Worms; also called "Eliezer ha-Gadol"; 11th century; German talmudic scholar. Eliezer was a pupil of his relative Simeon ha-Gadol, in Mainz, and later of Gershom Me'or ha-Golah, and Judah ha-Kohen, author of Sefer ha-Dinim. He was a friend of Jacob b. Jakar. After the death of R. Gershom, he and Jacob b. Yakar headed the yeshivah of Mainz, which numbered among its pupils Issac ha-Levi and Issac b. Judah, the teacher of Rashi, who mentions Eliezer several times in his commentaries to the Bible (e.g., Ps. 76:11) and the Talmud (Pes. 76b) calling him "ha-Gadol" or "ha-Ga'on." A number of Eliezer's decisions and instructions have been perserved in works issuing from Rashi's school, including the Sefer ha-Pardes. Menahem b. Judah di Lonzano attributes to Eliezer the well-known work, Orḥot Ḥayyim or Ẓavva'at R. Eli'ezer ha-Gahol, which had previously been attributed to Eliezer b. Hyrcanus. The suggestion that Eliezer was the father of Tobian b. Eliezer, author of the Lekaḥ Ṭov, is without firm foundation. The seliḥah "Elohai Basser" recited in the Yom Kippur Katan service, which bears Eliezer's name in acrostic form, has been attributed to him.)

Wikipedia description:
Eliezer ben Isaac ha-Gadol was a German rabbi of the eleventh century. He was a pupil of his cousin R. Simon ha-Gadol of Mainz and of R. Gershom Me'or ha-Golah. David Conforte, relying on the statement in the tosefta to Shab. 54b, says that Eliezer ha-Gadol was the teacher of Rashi; but Rashi himself, in citing Eliezer, does not say so. In Rashi's quotation he is sometimes called Eliezer ha-Gadol and sometimes Eliezer Gaon, which induced Azulai to consider them as two separate persons.
