Frat Maimon
Frat Maimon (also known as Prat Maimon or Solomon ben Menaham; fl. 1411) was a French Jewish Provençal scholar. A liturgical poet, he flourished in the second half of the 14th century. The name "Frat" is, according to Neubauer,[1] abbreviated from "Frater."
Frat Maimon was the author of four works, which are known only by quotations made from them by three of his disciples: (1) Edut le-Yisrael (A Testimony to Israel), probably a controversial treatise on religion; (2) Netzer Mattai, on the philosophical explanations of the haggadot found in the Talmud; (3) a commentary on the poem "Batte ha-Nefesh" of Levi ben Abraham; (4) comments on Genesis.
His students included Nathanael ben Nehemiah Caspi, Jacob ben Chayyim Comprat Vidal Farissol, and Solomon ben Judah of Lunel.
