Rabbeinu Bachiah was a Kabbalist of the school of R. Solomon ben Adret of Barcelona (the RaSHB”A). He is most famous for his comprehensive commentary to the Torah, but also for his topical Kad HaKemach and Shulchan shel Arba. Extensive research into his rabbinic approach and thinking was undertaken by Ephraim Gottlieb: The Kabbalah in the Writings of R. Bahya ben Asher (Jerusalem, 1970).
