Nathan’s Aruch is “a manifestation not only of its author’s brilliance and deep acquaintance with sources, but also of his encyclopaedic knowledge. Indeed, in some instances it is the sole source for ancient traditions of Talmudic interpretation” (see S. B. Linderman, Sefer Sarid Ba’Arachin (1972) Introduction.===The work is important for its many citations of Geonic sources, descriptions of Jewish customs, and citations of long-lost Midrashim. See M.J. Heller, The Sixteenth Century Hebrew Book (2004) pp. 104-5.
