Incipit text:
דבר במאמר המיוחד לו
General note:
[פירוש התורה על דרך הקבלה] Kabbalistic commentary on the Pentateuch. Quotes "Zohar" (ס"ז) extensively and also "Sefer Bahir" (ס"ב) and "Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer". Among the authorities often quoted are Moses b. Maimon, R. Ezra and Moses b. Naḥman. The commentary may be an eclectic compilation from early kabbalistic treatises rather than an original work. The text displays an affinity to Menahem Recanati ̓s commentary and it is possible that it is the source of many of the quotations. Other possible sources are Shem Tov ibn Gaon ̓s "Keter Shem Tov" and "Me6irat Enayim" by Isaac b. Samuel of Acre.
