Leon was living in Guadalajara in the heart of Castile at the time in 1280 and there abouts. He writes extensively about this in his book "Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism," and talks about it more in his book "Kabbalah."

Gershom Scholem is very knowledgeable. I came across him while watching some lectures on Kabbalah.
