Sefer HaEshkol is an important early halachic work, written by R. Avraham ben Yitzchak (ca. 1080-1158), a leading Torah scholar in Provence, father-in-law of the Raavad Baal HaHasagot. He was a disciple of R. Yehuda ben Barzillai of Barcelona (a prominent Spanish Torah scholar). Sefer HaEshkol is quoted extensively in the books of the Rishonim and in later halachic literature.
