R. Zevi Hirsh b. Jerahmeel Chotsh (c. 1700), kabbalist and itinerant preacher who lived in Cracow, in Prossnitz, and in western Europe. He published: Shabtade-Rigla, a collection of kabbalistic sermons (Fuerth, 1693); Derekh Yesharah, kabbalistic prayers and magic (ibid., 1697); and Hemdat Zevi, detailed commentary on Tikkunei Zohar in the spirit of Isaac Luria's Kabbalah (Amsterdam, 1706). A part of the first work was translated into German in 1698, probably with the assistance of the author, as Verzeichnis der General-und Haupt-Lehrsaetze der alten Cabbalisten. The autograph manuscript of his kabbalistic work Tiferet Zevi is extant in a Bodleian manuscript at Oxford.
