- The first reference to the Golem is literary, the Bible in Psalms 139:16 (גָּלְמִ֤י). Unformed body.
- Another reference is the legend of Rabbi Loew 16th century
- Gustav Meyrink (1914) The Golem.
- Borges El Golem (1958)
(In Mishnah Kelim 12:6) [the term, golemi kelim refers to vessels] that are lacking completion and finish. etc. And so [too, the mishnah calls a golem] a man who has intellectual virtues and virtuous character traits, yet they are not complete and do not flow in proper order. [Rather,] they are mixed up and confused and there are lackings mixed in with them. And this is not an ignorant man (am haarets) who has [knowledge] of the ways of the world (which are only virtuous traits), and all the more so is it not the boor in Mishnah 5 of Chapter 2 - Rambam.
