In recent years more and more scholars have become aware of the
fact that the 19th century movement of the Wissenschaft des
Judentums engaged in essential research of kabbalistic texts and
thinkers. The legend of Wissenschaft's neglect for the mystic
traditions of Judaism is no longer sustainable. However, the true
extent of this enterprise of German Jewish scholars is not yet
known. This book will give an overview of what the leading figures
have actually achieved: Landauer, Jellinek, Jost, Graetz,
Steinschneider and others. It is true that their theological
evaluation of the "worth" of kabbalah for what they believed was
the 'essence of Judaism' yielded overall negative results, but this
rejection was rationally founded and rather suggests a true concern
for Judaism that transcended their own emancipation and
assimilation as German Jews.
