Most Chumashim contain a commentary, called Toldos Aharon, which cites which gemara cites each verse (kind of like a reverse Torah Ohr).

Who wrote it?

    Can you link to a page of Humash with such commentary? That may help in the search. – Lee May 12 '15 at 06:40

  • @Menachem, given the similar name, it seems like אהרן היימאן is a likely source (except that what is in the Chumashim is abridged to only focus on Talmud). – Yishai May 12 '15 at 19:06
  • @Yishai: It was published in 1937-38, so if you can find an earlier Chumash with the Toldot Aharon it will disprove that theory: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%9F_%D7%94%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%9F – Menachem May 12 '15 at 20:42
  • @Menachem, well then it looks like the name is coincidental – Yishai May 12 '15 at 20:49
  • @Yishai http://chabadpedia.co.il/index.php/%D7%90%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%94%D7%9D_%D7%93%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%9C%D7%90%D7%95%D7%95%D7%90%D7%95%D7%98 – ertert3terte May 12 '15 at 20:57
  • @ShmuelBrin, looks like you found your answer. – Yishai May 12 '15 at 21:02
  • @Yishai it's un-sourced. – ertert3terte May 12 '15 at 21:12
  • Here is that Sefer on hebrewbooks.org: http://hebrewbooks.org/45349 - There are 3 separate scans. – Menachem May 12 '15 at 21:14
  • They're pretty tough to read, so here's the other 2: http://hebrewbooks.org/44293 and http://hebrewbooks.org/23999 – Menachem May 12 '15 at 21:24
  • Here someone reprinted just the chiddushim from the Sefer Beit Aharon. It might have some biographical information - http://www.otzar.org/wotzar/book.aspx?170550& – Menachem May 12 '15 at 21:31

    Apparently one of the editions of the publication Sinai from Mossad HaRav Kook discusses him in detail: http://forum.otzar.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12247

  • Here's the sefer: http://www.otzar.org/wotzar/book.aspx?104155 – Menachem May 12 '15 at 22:41
  • Why do you say he lived in Nikalaro, and not Pesaro? Also, I couldn't find a place called Nikalaro, is there a different spelling? – Menachem May 13 '15 at 05:52
  • Just passing on what I found in the Chorev edition of the Chumash. The town in Italy may now go by a different name. – MichaelKatz May 14 '15 at 15:23
  • It is probably written in Hebrew in the Chumash. Can you add the hebrew spelling to your answer? It may aid in searching. – Menachem May 15 '15 at 03:59
