Cordovero, Moses (1552–70).
Kabbalistic scholar. Cordovero was a disciple of Joseph
Caro and the teacher of Isaac
Luria. He attempted to construct a speculative kabbalistic system based on traditional medieval philosophy and the teachings of the
Zohar. His two great systematic works were
Pardes Rimmonim (‘Orchard of Pomegranates’) and
Ellimah Rabbati; and he also wrote a long commentary on the
Zohar,
Or Yaqar (Precious Light). His
Tomer Devorah (Palm Tree of Deborah) is a popular work showing how Kabbalah is, in practice, a way leading to God.
