Origins of the Kabbalah - Princeton Classics
Category: origins book

Published in 1950, The Origins of the Kabbalah brought the world of Jewish mysticism into the spotlight for the first time, thanks to the renowned scholar Gershom Scholem. This influential work explores the beginnings of the Kabbalah in twelfth- and thirteenth-century southern France and Spain, highlighting the tradition of striving to connect with and depict direct experiences of God. Not only does this book offer insight into Jewish medieval mysticism, it also contributes to our understanding of medieval mysticism as a whole.
With a new foreword by David Biale, The Origins of the Kabbalah remains a vital resource for those studying the history of religion.
