Aaron Abraham ben Baruch Simeon ha-Levi
Aaron Abraham ben Baruch Simeon ha-Levi was a
Shabbethai Sheftel ben Akiba Hurwitz, kabbalist and physician at Prague
, wrote in 1612 a voluminous commentary, Shefa' Ṭal, asserting in the introduction (p. 13) that R. Aaron was one of the greatest masters of the Kabbalah, and that his work contained the most profound secrets which he (Hurwitz) wished to disclose. But in reality it contains only kabbalistic trifles which attempt to show that the solution of the mystery of the Ten Sefirot is indicated in the names of the accents (ṭe'amim).
