Provençal philosopher; born in 1411. His Provençalname was Solomon Vives. When he was only thirteen years of age he composed, under the direction of his master, Frat Maimon, a commentary on the "Cuzari" of Judah ha-Levi. This commentary is extant in manuscript (Neubauer, "Cat. Bodl. Hebr. MSS." No. 2383) under the title "Ḥesheḳ Shelomoh." The young author displays in this work a considerable knowledge of the philosophical literature of his time. From a quotation made therein, it seems that Solomon wrote another commentary on the "Ruaḥ Ḥen," which he wrongly attributes to Samuel ibn Tibbon.
