Saturn's Jews
On the Witches' Sabbat and Sabbateanism
Moshe Idel examines the astrological association of the Jews with the planet Saturn, its role in Kabbalistic and Renaissance thought, and how it influenced Sabbatian messianism and European demonology, including the witches' sabbat. A short but fascinating study linking Kabbalah, astrology and European esotericism for readers who enjoy cross-cultural intellectual history. It is published by Continuum.
