Leon of Modena's Biography
Venetian-born Jewish scholar and writer from a notable French family that had migrated to Italy after an expulsion of Jews from France.
Leon of Modena earned a place in Jewish history in part by his criticism of the mystical approach to Judaism. One of his most effective works was his attack on the Kabbala (Ari Nohem, 1840). In it, he attempted to demonstrate that the “Bible of the Kabbalists” (the Zohar) was a modern composition. He became best known, however, as the interpreter of Judaism to the Christian world.
He wrote an autobiography Chayye Yehuda, literally “the life of Judah”. In this highly candid and sometimes emotional work, he admitted to being a compulsive gambler.
At the behest of an English nobleman, Leon prepared an account of Jewish customs and rituals, Historia de’ riti hebraici (1637). This book was the first Jewish texts addressed to non-Jewish readers since the days of Josephus and Philo. It was widely read by Christians, rendered into various languages, and in 1650 was translated into English by Edmund Chilmead.
He died in Venice on 21 March 1648.
