 Rabbi Eleazar. Ben Judah of Worms (         )

 

"His most important theological writing was Sefer ha-Kavod, part of which apparently should be identified with the material from MS Oxford 1567 published by Joseph Dan in Studies in Ashkenazi-Hasidic Literature [in Hebrew] (Ramat-Gan, Israel: Masadah, 1975),  148–187.For an example of a passage from this material that stresses the value of investigating God, see p. 154. On the identification of  this material  with Sefer ha-Kavod, see Dan, R. Judah He-Hasid, 103–111." (noted by Dauber, Knowledge of God and the Development of Early Kabbalah (Supplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy Edited by Elliot R. Wolfson (New York University , vol. 18)  et al.  Leiden: Brill, 2012, p.123,
