This book presents important topics regarding the more mystical trend of Kabbalah-the ecstatic Kabbalah. It includes the mystical union, the world of imagination, and concentration as a spiritual technique. The emphasis in the text is on the interaction between the "original" Spanish stage of Kabbalah and Muslim mysticism in the East, mainly in the Galilee. The influence of the Kabbalistic-Sufic synthesis on the later developments of Jewish mysticism is traced, thereby providing a more precise understanding of the history of Kabbalah as an interplay between the theosophical and ecstatic mystical experiences.
Moshe Idel is Max Cooper Professor of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He is the author of Golem: Jewish Magical and Mystical Traditions on the Artificial Anthropoid; Language, Torah, and Hermeneutics in Abraham Abulafia; The Mystical Experience in Abraham Abulafia; and Studies in Ecstatic Kabbalah, all published by SUNY Press.
