Solomon ibn Verga

Solomon ibn Verga or Salomón ben Verga (Hebrew: שלמה אבן וירגה, c. 1460 – 1554) was a Spanish-born Sephardic Jewish historian, physician, and author of the Shevet Yehudah (Hebrew: שבט יהודה‎ – "Scepter of Judah").

He was the nephew of Judah ibn Verga. Schudt (1718) was apparently misled by the title of the Shebeṭ Yehudah when he called its author "Solomon ben Schefet."
