Ramban
From Halachipedia
Klalim
- Ramban first wrote his disagreements on the Sefer HaMitzvot and then his Sefer.[1]
- The Ramban did not have the Rambam's Introduction to Perush HaMishnayot available to him, as Hebrew translations of the Arabic work were not yet available in Spain, according to the Yad Malachi, who posits that had they been available, the Ramban would not have been as quick to argue.[2] The Rashba did not have the Perush HaMishnah available at all either.[3]
- Rabbeinu Yonah was a cousin of the Ramban, and his daughter married Shlomo, the Ramban's son.[4]
