Asher ben Abraham Crescas

Asher ben Abraham Crescas lived in Provence in the first half of the 15th century. He is known for his commentary on Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed. Little else is known of his life. Other works have been attributed to him, including liturgical works and Avvat Nefesh, a supercommentary on Abraham ibn Ezra’s Torah commentary, but these attributions are subject to dispute.
