Moses de Leon

Moses de Leon

Mosche ben Schem Tov de Leon (* um 1250 in Guadalajara; † 1305 in Arevalo) war ursprünglich ein Anhänger des Maimonides und wurde später ein Kabbalist.

Er lebte unter anderem in Guadalajara und Ávila. Ihm wird der größte Teil des Werkes Sohar zugeschrieben. Obgleich dies das Hauptwerk der Kabbala ist, weiß man über ihn recht wenig. Bekannt ist seine Freundschaft mit Josef Gikatilla; beide haben das Werk des jeweils anderen stark beeinflusst.
