Abraham Abulafia—Kabbalist and Prophet

In this Cherub Press study Elliot Wolfson reconsiders Abraham Abulafia, the thirteenth-century prophetic kabbalist known for letter-permutation techniques. He argues that Abulafia's ecstatic Kabbalah was more closely connected to theosophical and theurgic Kabbalah than often assumed. A specialized but important work for readers studying Abulafia and medieval mystical technique. It is best read after Moshe Idel's foundational studies of Abulafia, with which it is in dialogue.
