Jomtob Lipmann Muhlhausen

Jomtob Lipmann Mühlhausen ( Jomtow Lipmann, from Mühlhausen) was a rabbi and halachist in Bohemia in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, who also worked temporarily in Vienna and Poland . He represented a peculiar combination of Maimonid philosophy and Kabbalah .

His Sefer ha-Nizzachon, ספר הנצחון 'Book of Victory' contains a staunch defense of Judaism and has had a powerful influence on later generations. J. Chr. Wagenseil has a Latin translation of the summary in poetry , Zikron Sefer ha-nizzachon (whose attribution to Lipmann is doubtful after Abraham Geiger ) in his book Tela ignea Satanae 'Die Feuerpfeile des Satans' , 1681, p. 107 -117, recorded.
