I have found a problem with this profile

I was actually trying to find out if his Jewish wife had a name so I did quite an extensive search. I did not find her name (women were quite unimportant until the 20th century not sure if it improved much) anyway he was not Jacob Ben Eliezer son, he was raised by him, was his teacher. He was Saul who turned into Paul and art some point into Pablo. These are two fo the references I found

1) a book :The Conversion of Herman the Jew: Autobiography, History, and Fiction in the ...
by Jean-Claude Schmit (page 165 ) this is the link

2) He was believed to have been a student of Rabbi Eliezer of Tarascon.[2] He married a Jewish woman and had children with her. Later, he converted to Christianity and took his children from his wife and made them Christians.[3] He then joined the Dominican Order of monks.[4]

3) His name

There are a few more links as to his name but nothing about his Jewish name or who his parents were, but no one mentions him being a son of Rabbi Eliezer. Therefore I think we need to do some changes in this profile, what do you think?
