Rav Avraham the son of David (Ra'avad III) was born in Narbonne, Provence in 1120 and passed away in Posquieres, Provence in 1198. His commentary on several tractates and on the ''Sefer HaHalachot'' of [[Rif]] still exist. However, he is best known for his glosses on the Mishne Torah of [[Rambam]], which criticized the author for not following the lead of other codifiers and listing the sources for his laws.
