With the publication of The Origins of the Kabbalah in 1950, one of
the most important scholars of our century brought the obscure
world of Jewish mysticism to a wider audience for the first time. A
crucial work in the oeuvre of Gershom Scholem, this book details
the beginnings of the Kabbalah in twelfth- and thirteenth-century
southern France and Spain, showing its rich tradition of repeated
attempts to achieve and portray direct experiences of God. The
Origins of the Kabbalah is a contribution not only to the history
of Jewish medieval mysticism, but also to the study of medieval
mysticism in general. Now with a new foreword by David Biale, this
book remains essential reading for students of the history of
religion.
