A commentary to the more challenging Aggadic passages of the Talmud.
Shem Tov ben Isaac ibn Shaprut of Tudela was a 14th-century Spanish philosopher, physician, and polemicist. He has been confused with Shem Tov ben Isaac of Tortosa who lived in the 12th-century. According to Di Castro (Biblioteca Espanola, I, no. 231), the latter was indeed the author of Pardess Rimonim.
