Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This major reinterpretation of Jewish Kabbalah and mysticism offers new perspectives on its origin, development, and relationship to general mystical writing from antiquity to the modern era. Idel, author of more than 25 works on this subject, analyzes in detail two major streamsecstatic or anthropocentric Kabbalah and theosophical-theurgical or theocentric Kabbalahalso showing how they have intertwined. Using manuscripts and esoteric medieval and early modern works, he examines mystical experience through such factors as total union with God and such techniques of mysticism as the visualization of colors and prayer. The technical nature of this important work and the absence of a glossary of Hebrew terms restricts its use to subject collections. Maurice Tuchman, Hebrew Coll. Lib., Brookline, Mass.
