Who is Hezekiah ben Manoah?
Hezekiah ben Manoah was a French rabbi and student.
In memory of his father, who lost his right hand through his stead-fastness in the faith, Hezekiah wrote a commentary on the Pentateuch, under the title Ḥazzeḳuni. It was printed at Venice in 1524. Other editions appeared at Cremona, at Amsterdam, at Lemberg, etc. It is based principally upon Rashi, but it uses also about twenty other commentaries, though the author quotes as his sources only Rashi, Dunash ben Labrat, the "Yosippon", and a "Physica" which is mentioned in the Tosafot. He is generally cited by the title of his commentary.
