Solomon ben Elijah ha-Cohen (Hebrew: שלמה בן אליהו הכהן died c. 1125) was the head of the remnant of the Palestinian Gaonate in Damascus in the first quarter of the 12th century.

Colophon Colophon of EVR II C 1 mentions son Tzadok and daughter? or daughter-in-law

A colophon from 1184 recorded that Masliah had a brother named Sadoq and a sister or sister-in-law, al-Kul Mubaraka

ENA 2806.6

This reference seems to indicate that Abraham's family was somehow related to the family of Kohanim who ruled the Palestinian Gaonate before him. Mann, followed by others, suggests that Abraham was the son-in-law of Solomon ben Elijah ha-Cohen Gaon, who had ruled as Gaon in Damascus in the first quarter of the 12th century.

Details

Solomon was the son of Elijah ben Solomon ha-Cohen, who had reigned as Gaon from 1062-1083. Solomon was named after his grandfather Solomon ben Joseph ha-Cohen, who had been Gaon for six months in the middle of 1025.

Solomon grew up in Jerusalem

As recounted in Megillat Abiathar, written by his brother Abiathar, Solomon was appointed to the post of Av Beit Din of the Palestinian Yeshiva in a grand ceremony in 1082(?). From Abiathar's account we learn that Solomon had formerly held the rank of "the Third" in the yeshiva. The Megillah also recounts that he fled Tyre 1093 due to the persecution of the followers of Daniel ben David. He is later found in Damascus.

Solomon's son Masliah succeeded his father as Gaon but in Cairo. the Gaon in Damascus became Abraham ben Mazhir, who scholars conjecture was Solomon's son-in-law.
