They are frequently quoted without the name of their author.

Isaac ben Asher also wrote a commentary on the Pentateuch, which is no longer extant.

It is cited in the Minchat Yehudah, and Jacob Tam made use of it in his Sefer ha-Yashar (p. 282).

He was also the teacher of Isaac ben Mordecai of Regensburg and Ephraim ben Isaac of Regensburg.
