The Chizkuni

R. Chizkiyah ben Manoach (c. 1220-1280), the Chizkuni, was a 13th-century French Tosafist whose Torah commentary distills the peshat readings of his predecessors — Rashi, the Tosafists, Rashbam, Bekhor Shor — into a clear running commentary. He deliberately omitted attributions to the rishonim he drew from (stating in his introduction that he wished to avoid the pitfall of preferring authority over truth), which has occasionally made source-identification difficult; modern scholarship continues to uncover his sources. Printed alongside Rashi in many Mikraot Gedolot editions; widely studied for parshanut.
