Vital, Ḥayyim ben Joseph (1542–1620). Jewish
kabbalist. Vital was the principal student of Isaac
Luria in Safed and arranged and elaborated on his teachings.
Ez ha-Ḥayyim (Tree of life) is a record of these teachings, and this was re-edited by his son and circulated under the title
Shemonah Sheʿarim (Eight Gates). Vital also produced an autobiography (
Sefer ha-Hezyonot, Book of Visions), commentaries on the
Talmud, volumes of sermons, a commentary on the
Zohar, and various
halakhic responsa. As the chief formulator of the Lurianic kabbalah, he was an important influence on the development of later Jewish
mysticism.
