Most Chumashim contain a commentary, called Toldos Aharon, which cites which gemara cites each verse (kind of like a reverse Torah Ohr).
Who wrote it?

1Can you link to a page of Humash with such commentary? That may help in the search. – Lee May 12 '15 at 6:40

@Menachem, given the similar name, it seems like אהרן היימאן is a likely source (except that what is in the Chumashim is abridged to only focus on Talmud). – Yishai May 12 '15 at 19:06

@Yishai: It was published in 1937-38, so if you can find an earlier Chumash with the Toldot Aharon it will disprove that theory: he.wikipedia.org/wiki/… – Menachem May 12 '15 at 20:42

@Menachem, well then it looks like the name is coincidental – Yishai May 12 '15 at 20:49

Why do you say he lived in Nikalaro, and not Pesaro? Also, I couldn't find a place called Nikalaro, is there a different spelling? – Menachem May 13 '15 at 5:52

Just passing on what I found in the Chorev edition of the Chumash. The town in Italy may now go by a different name. – MichaelKatz May 14 '15 at 15:23

It is probably written in Hebrew in the Chumash. Can you add the hebrew spelling to your answer? It may aid in searching. – Menachem May 15 '15 at 3:59
