This sweeping survey of the history of Kabbalah in Italy represents
a major contribution from one of the world's foremost Kabbalah
scholars. The first to focus attention on a specific center of
Kabbalah, Moshe Idel charts the ways that Kabbalistic thought and
literature developed in Italy and how its unique geographical
situation facilitated the arrival of both Spanish and Byzantine
Kabbalah.
Idel analyzes the work of three major Kabbalists--Abraham Abulafia,
Menahem Recanati, and Yohanan Alemanno--who represent diverse
schools of thought: the ecstatic, the theosophical-theurgical, and
the astromagical. Directing special attention to the interactions
and tensions among these forms of Jewish Kabbalah and the nascent
Christian Kabbalah, Idel brings to light the rich history of
Kabbalah in Italy and the powerful influence of this important
center on the emergence of Christian Kabbalah and European
occultism in general.
