נספה בלא משפט is from Proverbs, not Qohelet
The Proverbs commentary attributed to Ibn Ezra is not actually his. The true author may be Moses Kimhi.
Mainstream scholars do not date Ben Sira to the early second temple period but to Ben Sira's time - i.e., mid-2nd temple times
It is odd to call Joseph Kimhi "the father of the Radak"
היכן means where
אלה אלהיך means these are your gods/elohim
Origen was a presbyter, not a bishop
Verbal should be oral
There never was an expulsion from Portugal
Rabbi T. has an unfortunate habit of refering to Amos Hakam z'l by the name of the series he published his commentary in. This would be like referring to Blenkinsopp as "Anchor Yale" rather than "Blenkinsopp."
