Moshe Idel, “Absorbing Perfections: Kabbalah and Interpretation”
Yale University Press (2002) | English | ISBN: 0300083793 | 690 pages | PDF | 1.60 MB
In this wide-ranging discussion of Kabbalah - from the mystical trends of medieval Judaism to modern Hasidism - one of the world’s foremost scholars considers different visions of the nature of the sacred text and of the methods to interpret it. Moshe Idel takes as a starting point the fact that the postbiblical Jewish world lost its geographical centre with the destruction of the temple and so was left with a textual centre, the Holy Book. Idel argues that a text-oriented religion produced language-centered forms of mysticism.
