Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

The Zohar

Reception and Impact

by Boaz Huss · Yudith Nave (trans.)

Boaz Huss traces how the Zohar was received, from its appearance in thirteenth-century Castile as a collection of texts to its canonization as a sacred book, its printing and its use in modern Israel and popular culture. This Littman Library study shows how 'the Zohar' itself was a cultural construction over centuries. It is a model of reception history.
