Rabbi Yosef Korkus was a Spanish exile who settled in Egypt and Eretz Yisrael and was among the earliest commentators on Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon's Mishneh Torah. His commentary, known as Maharikash on Mishneh Torah, was extensively quoted by Rabbi Yosef Karo in the Kessef Mishneh and remains a primary reference on Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon.
