This commentary, the proper title of which is Lekach Tob ( ) in allusion to his name, as is evident from the quotations made by Aben-Ezra and Rashbam, but which is erroneously called or , consists both of excerpts from the ancient expository works, such as Siphsra, Siphre, Tanchuma, etc., and of an attempt at a grammatical explanation of the text. A portion of it, embracing the commentaries on Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, was first published at Venice in 1546. With a Latin translationit was republished in Ugolino’s Thesaurus Antiuita tum Sacsarum (ibid. 1764-69), vol. 15:16. Excerpts of the commentaries on the five Megilloth were published by A. Jellinek (Leips. 1855-58). The whole MS. is in the Bodleian Library at Oxford (Cod. Uri 124). See First, Bibl. Jud. 3, 427;. Gratz, Gesch. d.
