Moses de León, known in Hebrew as Moshe ben Shem-Tov, was 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. He was born in Guadalajara, Spain, and spent 30 years in Guadalajara and Valladolid before moving to Ávila, where he lived for the rest of his life. He died at Arevalo in 1305 while returning to his home.Moses was familiar with the philosophers of the Middle Ages and with the whole literature of mysticism, and knew and used the writings of Solomon ibn Gabirol, Yehuda ha-Levi, Maimonides, and others. He knew how to charm with brilliant and striking phrases without expressing any well-defined thought. He was a ready writer and wrote several mystical and cabalistic works in quick succession. In the comprehensive Sefer ha-Rimon, written in 1287 and still extant in manuscript, he treated from a mystical standpoint the objects and reasons for the ritual laws, dedicating the book to Levi ben Todros Abulafia.
