This volume is a study of two of the most important Slavonic
apocalypses, the Apocalypse of Abraham and 2 Enoch, as crucial
conceptual links between the symbolic universes of Second Temple
apocalypticism and early Jewish mysticism. The study seeks to
understand the mediating role of these Slavonic pseudepigraphical
texts in the development of Jewish angelological and theophanic
traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish
Merkabah mysticism attested in the Hekhalot and Shi'ur Qomah
materials. The study shows that mediatorial traditions of the
principal angels and the exalted patriarchs and prophets played an
important role in facilitating the transition from apocalypticism
to early Jewish mysticism.
