R. Elijah Loanz (1565-1636), a disciple of the MaHaRa”L of Prague, was an outstanding German kabbalist. A grandson of the statesman R. Joselman of Rosheim, he was popularly known as R. Eliyahu Ba’al Shem, in respect of his abilities in successfully treating the sick. His commentary is one of the most important kabbalistic interpretations to the Song of Songs.
