Abstract: In his book The Commentaries on Proverbs of the Kimhi Family (Hebrew), F. Talmage attributes the commentary on Proverbs contained in MS Vatican Ebr. 89 to Rabbi David Kimhi (Radak).2 The manuscript itself ascribes authorship to Joseph Kimhi, Radak’s father, although the elder Kimhi was not its author, as the commentary is different from the known commentary on Proverbs of Joseph Kimhi.3 An annotated full version of the text is presented in Talmage’s book, alongside the commentaries of Joseph and Moses Kimhi, with the supposition that it is in fact Radak’s commentary
