Attracted by the mystical studies that had begun to spread in Spain, Azriel went early to southern France, and became there a pupil of the celebrated cabalist Isaac the Blind, the son of Abraham of Posquières.
Azriel was, further, the author of a commentary on "Sefer Yeẓirah," entitled "Sefer ha-Milluïm," which was likewise ascribed to Naḥmanides, and published under his name in Mantua, 1719.
Azriel, however, had the merit of affording some guidance in the labyrinth of mysticism.
Azriel's love of knowledge, his dedication to his research, students and the University, and the generosity with which he devoted his time to working with all of us will be appreciated by us for the rest of our lives.
