Jacob ben Jeremiah Mattithiah ha-Levi was a German translator.
He rendered Abraham Jagel's Leḳaḥ Ṭov into Yiddish, as well as the Sefer ha-Yashar, under the title Tam ve-Yashar. The latter work encompasses Biblical history from the era of Adam to the period of the Judges, with aggadic elaboration. Each paragraph was followed by a concise summary of the content and the moral implications of the respective narrative. Early editions also contained extracts from Abraham Zacuto's Sefer Yuḥasin and from Eleazar Askari's Sefer Ḥaredim.
