Imrei Da'at is a philosophical commentary on the Book of Proverbs by Rabbi Zerahiah ben Shealtiel Ḥen, completed in Rome on November 28, 1288. The work represents the approach of late 13th-century Spanish Jewish philosophy, incorporating linguistic analysis drawn from the author's native Arabic, as well as philosophical perspectives influenced by Aristotelian thought and the writings of Maimonides. Published by Schwarz in the periodical Ha-Shaḥar, the commentary exemplifies the synthesis of Jewish tradition with medieval philosophical inquiry characteristic of the period.
