The Early Kabbalah
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
This volume contains previously unavailable texts, including The Book Bahir and the writings of the Iyyum circle that were written during the first one hundred years of this movement that was to become the most important current in Jewish mysticism. This movement began in the late twelfth century among Rabbinic Judaism in southern Europe. A revived interest in this movement happened recently as several celebrities became adherents.
For a massive collection including over a hundred and twenty of the volumes in this series, see the Classics of Western Spirituality Bundle (126 vols.).
