{{Short description|French Jewish Provençal scholar (fl. 14th century)}} '''Frat Maimon''' (also known as ''Prat Maimon'' or ''Solomon ben Menaham''; {{fl.|1411}}) was a French Jewish Provençal scholar. A liturgical poet, he flourished in the second half of the 14th century. The name "Frat" is, according to Neubauer,<ref>Ernest Renan and Adolphe Neubauer, ''Les Ecrivains Juifs Français'' (1893), p. 753.</ref> abbreviated from "Frater."
Frat Maimon was the author of four works, which are known only by quotations made from them by three of his disciples: (1) ''Edut le-Yisrael'' (''A Testimony to Israel''), probably a controversial treatise on religion; (2) ''Netzer Mattai'', on the philosophical explanations of the haggadot found in the Talmud; (3) a commentary on the poem "Batte ha-Nefesh" of Levi ben Abraham; (4) comments on Genesis.
His students included Nathanael ben Nehemiah Caspi, Jacob ben Chayyim Comprat Vidal Farissol, and Solomon ben Judah of Lunel.
