A concisely written commentary to the Pentateuch which includes literal, homiletical, kabbalistic and philosophical interpretations.
The author, Isaac ben Joseph Karo (not to be confused with his celebrated nephew, R. Yoseph Karo), was a native of Toledo and a man of wide culture. Several years prior to the Spanish Expulsion in 1492, R. Isaac Karo moved his yeshiva to Portugal and following the the subsequent expulsion of the Jews from Portugal in 1497, he fled to Turkey. He entered the rabbinate of Constantinople, where Toldoth Yitzchak was first published in 1518. See EJ, Vol. V col. 193.
