For Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman we have a term and definition in Judaism.

Rabbi Moshe Ben Nachman (Judaism)

Otherwise known as RAMBAN, or Nachmanides; thirteenth century Torah scholar, whose virtuosity extended over all the fields of Torah knowledge. Aside from his greatness in his own right, one of his main accomplishments was saving the People of Israel from a destructive schism over the issue of the RAMBAM, whose opponents had gone so far as to burn his writings. He defended the RAMBAM against his detractors, claiming that most of the criticisms were simply false. When King Louis XIV of France, "Saint" Louis, burnt all the copies of the Talmud in Paris in the Square of the Louvre, Rabbeinu Yonah of Gerondi, one of the RAMBAM's main detractors, felt that the events in Paris were a sign that he and the other opponents of the RAMBAM were seriously wrong. He then composed a work called "Shaarei Teshuvah," "The Gates of Teshuvah," in which he outlined the methods of doing Teshuvah, and he traveled from place to place preaching about the need to back away from matters which cause division among the Jewish People.
