ca. 1530–after 1580
Eliezer Eilburg was born in Braunschweig to a family of physicians. He testified that both his parents studied kabbalah. He moved to Poznań in 1546 and after a brief stay there he moved to Ancona, Italy, around 1552. After leaving Ancona he lived in a few places in Silesia. ‘Eser she’elot (Ten Questions) is a work of religious skepticism, in which Eilburg questions dogmas of Judaism. Apart from this text, he also left a few medical works, autobiographical notes, and poetry.
