This book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in
relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the
line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. A survey
of Abulafia's sources leads into an analysis of the esoteric
meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, considering also
the possible connection between this parable, which Abdulafia
inserted into a book dedicated to his student, the 13th century
rabbi Nathan the wise, and the Lessing's Play "Nathan the Wise."
The book also examines Abulafia's universalistic understanding of
the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, and the people of
Israel (or the Sinaic revelation). The universal aspects of
Abulafia's thought have been put in relief against the more
widespread Kabbalistic views which are predominantly
particularistic. A number of texts have also been identified here
for the first time as authored by Abulafia.
