Leon, who resided in London, composed a number of works in Hebrew: Sha'arei Rachamim (Venice, 1710), Perach Levanon (Berlin, 1712), Aseret hadevarim (Amsterdam, 1737). The book contains approbations by the Amsterdam rabbis David Israel Athias and Isaac Haim Abendana and is dedicated to Abraham Diaz Fernandez, who published a new edition of the Ferrara Bible in 1726.

In the preliminaries there are Hebrew poems to the author by Isaac Zekli Vermsh, Abraham de Onzani and a Spanish poem by Eliau Cardozo.
