Reuben ben Hoshke

Reuben Hoshke HaKohen (Sofer) (died April 3, 1673) (Hebrew: אברהם ראובן הכהן סופר) was a Kabalist and rabbi of Prague. "Hoshke," his father's name, is a Polish diminutive for "Joshua," mistaken by G.B. De Rossi (Dizionario, s.v. "Oski, Ruben") and Zunz (Z. G. p. 402) for his family name.
