Jewish Theological Seminary Library has a manuscript of Sefer ha-Shem Which the manuscript cataloger ascribed to Moses ben Shem Tov, de Leon, Who died in 1305,
So I would cutter by 14th century author Even if it was not published until 1601, and not by title as if it were a 20th century work. I would be inclined to class it in BM525 under the author, M64 or M643 or M65, or whatever fits best in your shelf list.

I am cataloging a volume "Sefer ha-Shem : ha-meyuhas le-R. Mosheh de Le'on" (Los Angeles : Cherub Press, 2010). This work was originally published as part of Hekhal ha-Shem in 1601 in Venice. I am not sure where to class this. I am entering it under title since authorship is not clear. I am making an added entry for Moses ben Shem Tov, de Leon. The guidelines for classing modern Cabalistic works under BM525.A7-Z are to cutter by author, Thanks, Heidi G. Lerner
