Yefet's commentary on Proverbs attests to his rationalistic and revisionist ideology and to his egalitarian approach. His work is an invaluable link in the history of interpretation of the book of Proverbs. This edition is accompanied by an introduction including a thorough study of Yefet's style of writing compared with the Arabic model of his time, his hermeneutic devices contrasted with those of Saadiah Gaon and midrash, his theology in light of the doctrines of Islamic Mu'tazila, and his polemics against various groups"-- Contains an edition of Yefet’s Judaeo-Arabic Judaeo-Arabic translation and commentary on Proverbs, including his introduction to the book, based on 13 distinct Mss. as represented in 15 separately-catalogued items. The edited text alternates between Hebrew script and Arabic script depending on the basic Ms. employed. Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, Or. Qu. 828 is incorrectly listed as Or. Qu. 282 on p. 141.
