An antique manuscript, a section of Radak's commentary on Sefer Melachim. [The fifteenth century?].
Rabbi David Kimchi of Narbonne [southern France], 12-13 centuries. His commentary on the Bible and his books on Hebrew grammar are Basic books in Judaism. His commentary on Melachim was first printed in Soncino in 1485, after which it was reprinted in many editions. By the shape of its letters, this manuscript appears to be from the beginning of the 15th century.
