Abraham ben Isaac of Granada also Abraham Merimon was a Kabbalist of the thirteenth century.
Works
Abraham wrote:
- Sefer ha-Berit: A work on the Kabbala.This work is quoted by Moses Botarel in the introduction to his commentary on the Sefer Yeẓirah.
- Berit Menuḥah (Covenant of Rest): Another work on the Kabbala valued highly by Isaac Luria for its profound comments. Its language, as well as the manner in which Simon ben Yohai is introduced as speaker, shows striking resemblance to the Zohar, and it may be that the author had a larger version of the Zohar before him than is now extant. Unlike the Zohar however, Berit Menuḥah is primarily focused on practical Kabbalah and the powers of divine names and angels.
- Megalle ha-Ta'alumot: quoted by the author in the work previously mentioned.
