Solomon Adeni (also known as Shelomo bar Yehoshua) was a Yemenite Jewish writer and talmudist. When he was four years old his family moved to Palestine. He lived in Safed and Jerusalem and eventually settled in Hebron. Poverty stricken, he worked on his commentary on the Mishnah, Melekhet Shelomoh (The Work of Solomon) for thirty years. Though it was not published until the end of the nineteenth century, Melekhet Shelomo is included today in many standard editions of the Mishnah.
