Joseph ben Abraham Gikatilla - Matthatias ben Solomon Delacrut. [Commentary on] Sha'arei Orah. Offenbach, s.n., 1715

R. Delacrut's commentary is printed in Rashi to distinguish it from Gikatilla's work. First published posthumously in Cracow in 1600 by Delacrut's son Joseph, this early 18th-century edition claims that until the addition of Delacrut's commentary, Gikatilla's Gates of Light, like a 'hidden revelation', could not be understood. The usefulness of Delacrut's commentary, it is stated, is obvious for anyone who has eyes to see.
