summary

Born in Worms, Jacob Temerls died in Vienna in 1666. Most of his life was spent in Poland. His work shows great profiency in Lurianic Kabbalah. Though he is said to have left in manuscript commentaries on the entire Bible, Talmudim, Zohar and the writings of the Ar”i, as well as a collection of halachic responsa, Siphra di-Tzeni'utha de-Ya'akov remains the author’s only published work. See EJ, Vol. XV, col. 941
