Description
This selection offers a comprehensive survey of the 'Kabbalah', the body of writings in the Jewish mystical tradition. 'The Torah is both hidden and revealed ... there is a secret meaning to the holy Torah that is not written down explicitly or explained in it' This selection offers a comprehensive survey of the 'Kabbalah', the body of writings in the Jewish mystical tradition. It features texts from a variety of literary forms, from the earliest biblical sources through to the early twentieth century, with a section on 'practical kabbalistic knowledge and procedure' to appeal to the modern market.
