Moses de León
Spanish rabbi and Kabbalist
Years: 1250 - 1305
Moses de León (c. 1250 – 1305), known in Hebrew as Moshe ben Shem-Tov, is a Spanish rabbi and Kabbalist who is thought of as the composer or redactor of the Zohar.
It is a matter of controversy if the Zohar is his own work, or that he committed traditions going back to Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai in writing.
His other works include Sefer ha-Rimon, written in Hebrew.
