This edition was printed some twelve years after the passing of the author, R. Yitzchak Abarbanel. At the end of his commentary to Yeshaya, the author writes: "And I began this commentary in the island of Corfu on Rosh Chodesh Av 1495, and since this work was postponed in deference of other works I composed, it was completed in Naples on Rosh Chodesh Elul 1498…".
The famous Jewish printer Gershom Soncino, a foremost Hebrew printer in Italy, wandered with his family and printing equipment throughout various Italian cities. Wherever he settled, he printed Hebrew books. In Pesaro, he printed some of the Talmudic tractates and additional books. The first part of the Abarbanel commentary, on Neviim Rishonim, was also printed in Pesaro, in 1511.
