Cabalist. The surname "Gerondi" is due to an unwarranted deduction by Jellinek ("Beiträge zur Gesch. der Kabbalah," 2:64), and is used for the purpose of describing more in detail the author of "Ma'areket ha-Elahut." A certain Perez, who lived toward the end of the thirteenth century, is mentioned as the author of this cabalistic work.
