Brief History Tradition of Rabbinic Judaism - Not Kabbalah,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Despite the title of this book, the book is NOT a discussion of esoteric Kabbalah, and NOT written Abraham ben David of Posquieres. Instead, this is a scholarly book that examines only the first part of a twelfth century Hebrew text by Abraham ben David of Toledo, which is a brief history summary of the tradition of rabbinic Judaism, that is to say a brief review of the process of transmission of Talmudic doctrines in history by a chain of Talmudic scholars, listed by their names and dates. The original Hebrew text and English translation is relatively minor in historical significance, due to its brief nature, but the scholarly review and analysis about the original author and his viewpoint and purpose, as described by the modern day scholar Cohen is worthwhile for readers and scholars interested in medieval ages Jewish history.
