R. Eliezer Aschkenazi (1513-86) held influential positions in widely scattered Jewish communities from Egypt, Cyprus and Italy to the major 16th century centers of Poland, where he died. As a biblical exegete, Aschkenazi follows the rationalist trend in rabbinical scholarship. He suggests that irrational elements in Jewish tradition had occurred due to copyists’ errors, misunderstandings and misreadings, or had been precipitated in times of trouble and expulsions, or even inserted by adversaries.
The commentary on the Hagadah here annotates in an Aggadic vein alongside a mystical explication and served as a basis for many later commentators. It was very popular and has been republished numerous times to this day.
