Eliezer ben Joseph Yospa Trillinger (Hebrew: אליעזר בן יוסף יוזפא טרילינגר, romanized: Eliʻezer ben Yosef Yozpa Ṭrilinger; fl. late 17th–early 18th centuries), also known as Eliezer Nin of Nikolsburg,[1] was an Austrian rabbi.
The name "Trillinger" likely originates from "Wassertrüdingen," historically known to Jews as "Wassertrilling" or "Trilling." Trillinger served as av beit din in several congregations.[1] At an advanced age he set out for the Land of Israel, but on his way he fell ill at Vilna and died there. He was the author of Mishnat Rabbi Eli'ezer, a collection of derashot on the Pentateuch,[2] published by his son Joseph Yospa at Frankfort-on-the-Oder in 1707.
