This note proposes the possibility of the impact of the Kabbalistic theory of Kavod, as a designation of each of the ten sefirot, on Ramon Lull's theory of dignitates. The Kabbalistic theory was presented in a Commentary on Sefer Yetzirah authored by the renown Catalan master Moses ben Nahman, known as Nahmanides, active in Gerona during the second third of the 13th century.
