| Summary: | The Milḥemet ?obah (Obligatory War), a collection of polemical treatises published at Constantinople in 1710, contains a tract entitled Disputation of Rabbi David Kimhi (Wikuaḥ ha-Ra-Da?). The ascription of this work to Kimhi has been a subject of some discussion. J. D. Eisenstein, who published the text in his anthology, O?ar Wikuḥim, and Salo Baron have apparently accepted it as genuine without reservations. Suler in his article in the Encyclopedia Judaica considered it to be basically the work of Kimhi with interpolations. On the other hand, A. Geiger and L. Finkelstein have completely rejected the possibility of Kimhi's authorship. None of these authorities has brought support for his conclusions. |
