Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

The Early Kabbalah

by Joseph Dan · Ronald C. Kiener (trans.)

This Classics of Western Spirituality volume presents translated texts from the formative generations of Kabbalah, including writings from the Iyyun circle, Isaac the Blind, Azriel of Gerona and Jacob ben Sheshet. Joseph Dan's introduction situates each source historically. It is valuable for readers who want primary material from before the Zohar, illuminating how sefirotic thought and contemplative prayer first developed.
