Yohanan Alemanno

Yohanan Alemanno (born in Constantinople or in Mantua, c. 1435 – died after 1504) was an Italian Jewish rabbi, noted Kabbalist, humanist philosopher, and exegete, and teacher of the Hebrew language to Italian humanists including Pico della Mirandola. He taught that the Kabbalah was divine magic.

He was a pupil of Judah Messer Leon, but departed from the Aristotelian sympathies of his teacher in the direction of neoplatonic thought.
