 The suspicion of Christian influence was by no means restricted to the Pseudo-Hai’s doctrine of the three lights, however, for “philosophical opponents of the Kabbalah” had already suggested “that the doctrine of the ten sefirot was [itself] of Christian origin” (Scholem 1987, 354). Nor was this criticism easily laid to rest. Thus, Isaac bar Sheshet Parfat (1326–1408) says (Gellman 2013, 46) that he had “heard a philosopher speak in a defaming manner of the Kabbalists,” saying “‘The Gentiles [Christians] are believers in a trinity, and the kabbalists are believers in a ten-ity’”.
