Like Angels on Jacob's Ladder
Abraham Abulafia, the Franciscans, and Joachimism
Hames places Abraham Abulafia's messianic mission and his attempt to meet the pope in 1280 within the apocalyptic expectations of contemporary Christians, especially Franciscans influenced by Joachim of Fiore. The book shows Jewish and Christian visionaries sharing a common thirteenth-century climate.
