Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

The Kabbalistic Tree

by J. H. Chajes

J. H. Chajes's lavishly illustrated Penn State Press volume is the first major study of the ilan, the Kabbalistic tree diagram. Drawing on hundreds of manuscripts and scrolls, it shows how kabbalists visualized the sefirot and Lurianic cosmology, and how these images functioned as tools of study, contemplation and ritual. Equally valuable to scholars and to readers drawn to sacred diagrams and Jewish visual culture.
