On the Art of the Kabbalah (De Arte Cabalistica)Johann Reuchlin
On the Art of the Kabbalah (De Arte Cabalistica)
Reuchlin's dialogue between a Pythagorean, a Muslim and a Jewish sage was the most important early Christian presentation of Kabbalah. It argues for the antiquity and Christian usefulness of Jewish mystical teaching, discussing divine names, letter permutation and the sefirot. The Goodmans' English translation with Latin facing text and an introduction by Moshe Idel makes this landmark of Christian Cabala accessible to modern readers.
