The Christian Kabbalah

Jewish Mystical Books and Their Christian Interpreters

by Joseph Dan · Joseph Dan (ed.)

Published by the Harvard College Library to accompany a symposium and exhibition, this collection examines how Renaissance and early modern Christians read and adapted Kabbalistic texts. Essays treat Pico della Mirandola, Johann Reuchlin, Guillaume Postel, Knorr von Rosenroth and others. It is a useful scholarly entry point for understanding Christian Cabala as a distinct tradition with its own aims.
