The medieval rabbi David Kimḥi, known also as Radak (b. 1160), was a prolific writer and commentator from Provence. This volume is a printed version of Kimḥi’s lexicon or dictionary of Hebrew terms from the Bible (Sefer ha-Shorashim, ‘Book of the roots’). It was printed in Venice in 1511 by Daniel Bomberg, a Christian printer who played an important role in printing Hebrew books.
