This 17th-century Polish author’s enduring contribution to Jewish scholarship is his popular commentary to the Prophets and Writings, subdivided into Metzudath David and Metzudath Zion. The former deals with conceptual issues, the latter with issues of etymology. His work on the future Temple prophesied by Ezekiel was first printed in Zolkiew, in 1774. See JE, Vol. I, p. 479
