Abraham Cohen de Herrera, also known as Alonso Nunez de Herrera or Abraham Irira, was a religious philosopher and cabbalist. He is supposed by the historian Heinrich Graetz to have been born in 1570. He is widely supposed to have been descended from a Marrano family: place of birth is unknown but may have been Lisbon, Portugal. Other sources link him to Italy, specifically Livorno, Tuscany, and as the son of the last Chief Rabbi of Córdoba in Spain.
