One of the most important scholars of our century, Gershom
Scholem (1897-1982) opened up a once esoteric world of Jewish
mysticism, the Kabbalah, to concerned students of religion. The
Kabbalah is a rich tradition of repeated attempts to achieve and
portray direct experiences of God: its twelfth-and
thirteenth-century beginnings in southern France and Spain are
probed in Origins of the Kabbalah, a work crucial in Scholem's
oeuvre. The book is a contribution not only to the history of
Jewish medieval mysticism but also to the study of medieval
mysticism in general and will be of interest to historians and
psychologists, as well as to students of the history of
religion.
