Tur HaArokh, a commentary on the Torah, is written by R’ Jacob ben Asher (c. 1269 - c. 1343), known as Ba’al haTurim. While his concise introductory "Parperaot" (lit. appetizers) gained wide popularity and is printed in most standard Chumashim, his commentary body is less known. The English translation is by Rabbi Eliyahu Munk.
