While I know that there is
no time limit in Wikipedia, I am removing the following statement which has had a {{Fact}} tag for over three years:
Some consider Nissim and Chananel to constitute the first generation of Rishonim.
Rav Nissim is commonly referred to as "Rav Nissim ha-Gaon," not Rav Nissim ha-Rishon, and is thus clearly identified with the earlier
Gaonic period rather than the later period of the
Rishonim. This is even more obviously so in that his most famous pupil, Rav
Isaac Alfasi - the "Rif," is sometimes himself referred to as a Gaon; attributing the teacher to the later period while identifying the student as "the last of the..." earlier period is nonsensical. Comments? You know where
my talk page lives! --
