Joseph ben Eliezer Bonfils

Joseph ben Eliezer Bonfils was a 14th-century Spanish author most notable as a supercommentary on the biblical commentary of Abraham ibn Ezra entitled Tzafnat Paneach.[1] With greater clarity than ever before, Bonfils was responsible for elucidating Ibn Ezra's heterodox approach in a way that scholars hadn't yet uncovered.[2]

This article is about the supercommentary to Ibn Ezra. For the biblical name given to Joseph, see Zaphnath-Paaneah.
