Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman Kramer (?-1797) was one of the most influential Rabbinic authorities since the Middle Ages, and - although he is counted as an Acharon - he is held by many authorities after him as belonging to the Rishonim (Rabbinic authorities of the Middle Ages).
He held no official positions and the writings that are attributed to him are either quoted in his name or compiled from marginal notes he made in his copies of the Talmud, Shulkhan Arukh and mystical works.
