Rabbi Ovadiah Sforno (c. 1475–1550), a physician and exegete of Bologna, composed an elegant, rationalist commentary on the Torah, attentive to the plain sense and to ethical and philosophical questions. A figure of Italian Renaissance Jewish humanism, he taught Hebrew to Christians, including Johann Reuchlin. His commentary appears in most rabbinic Bibles.
