Description: With the publication of The Origins of the Kabbalah in 1950, one of the most important scholars of our century brought the obscure world of Jewish mysticism to a wider audience for the first time. A crucial work in the oeuvre of Gershom Scholem this book details the beginnings of the Kabbalah in twelfth - and thirteenth - century southern France and Spain showing its rich tradition of repeated attempts to achieve and portray direct experiences of God. The Origins of the Kabbalah is a contribution not only to the history of Jewish medieval mysticism but also to the study of medieval mysticism in general. Now with a new foreword by David Biale this book remains essential reading for students of the history of religion.
