A child prodigy, R. Jonathan Eybescheutz, acquired renown for his remarkably keen mind and enormous scholarship in the Talmud and Kabbalah. None of his works were published in his lifetime, his influence amoung his contemporaries thus stemming from his oratory skills and leading personality. See Zinberg, A History of Jewish Literature, vol. VI pp.191-4.
