Kabbalist
of the thirteenth century.
Works
Abraham wrote:
- A work on the Kabbala, under the title of Sefer ha-Berit. This is quoted by Moses Botarel in the introduction to his commentary on the Sefer Yeẓirah, which passage contains a reference to Maimonides' Moreh.
- Another work on the Kabbala, under the title Simon ben Yohai is introduced as speaker, shows striking resemblance to the Zohar, and it may be that the author had a larger version of the Zohar before him than is now extant. Unlike the Zohar however, Berit Menuḥah is primarily focused on practical Kabbalahand the powers of divine names.
- A work entitled Megalle ha-Ta'alumot, quoted by the author in the work previously mentioned.
