|description=The name of a Jewish Rabbi in the Xlllth century, accused of having composed the ''Zohar ''which he gave out as the true work of Simeon Ben Jachaї. His full name is given in Myer’s ''Qabbalah ''as Rabbi Moses ben‐ Shem‐Tob de Leon, of Spain, the same author proving very cleverly that de Leon was ''not ''the author of the ''Zohar''. Few will say he was, but everyone must suspect Moses de Leon of perverting considerably the original ''Book of Splendour ''(Zohar). This sin, however, may be shared by him with the Mediæval “Christian Kabalists” and by Knorr von Rosenroth especially. Surely, neither Rabbi Simeon, condemned to death by Titus, nor his son, Rabbi Eliezer, nor his Secretary Rabbi Abba, can be charged with introducing into the ''Zohar ''purely Christian dogmas and doctrines invented by the Church Fathers several centuries after the death of the former Rabbis. This would be stretching alleged divine prophecy a little too far {{ctd-source|TG}}. | |description=The name of a Jewish Rabbi in the Xlllth century, accused of having composed the ''Zohar ''which he gave out as the true work of Simeon Ben Jachaї.
