4.0 out of 5 stars
Does not contain A.E. Waite introduction
This is a photocopied saddle-bound reprint pamphlet, and does not contain the A.E. Waite introduction originally included in 1920s source edition used here. One side affect of this is that the page numbers referenced throughout the text do not match the printed page numbers (which seem to have been modified by the publisher to mask the deletion of the introduction.)...

Go to the Kaplan version for the best translation and commentary. The Kaplan version also has alternative versions of both the Sepher and the 32 paths that was originally an adjunct of the Book of Formation.

Does not contain A.E. Waite introduction,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Formation (Sepher Yetzirah Including : the 32 Paths of Wisdom, Their Correspondence With the Hebrew Alphabet and the Tarot Symbols) (Paperback)
This is a photocopied saddle-bound reprint pamphlet, and does not contain the A.E. Waite introduction originally included in 1920s source edition used here. One side affect of this is that the page numbers referenced throughout the text do not match the printed page numbers (which seem to have been modified by the publisher to mask the deletion of the introduction.) I suspect that the loss of the introduction may be due to copyright issues. The translator presents a number of interesting and useful interpretations of the Sepher Yetzirah text. However, the Hebrew text itself is not included - only the translation. This has some disadvantages for a document that exists in so many different versions. Stenring does cite which text he is using as his source (Mantua, I believe). Overall, a worthwhile translation of this early Hebrew Kabbalistic text
