Chacham Yitzchak ben Latif was a thirteenth century Spanish kabbalist and philosopher. He dwelled in Toledo until his final years when he fulfilled his lifelong dream of settling in the Holy Land. His written legacy includes the famous sefarim Shaar Hashamayim and Tzel Ha’olam.

Many great Rabbis quoted and drew from his writings, among them Rabbi Yosef Albo, author of Sefer Ha’Ikrim; Rabbi Yitzchak Arama, the Baal Ha’Akeidah; and the Abarbanel.
