Sumario: | This book explores the Jewish and Christian Kabbalah through a series of lectures delivered by Moshe Idel at the University of Salvador in 2008. It delves into the mystical traditions within Judaism, focusing on the historical evolution of Kabbalah from its Andalusian roots to the development of its three major schools: the theosophical, ecstatic, and magical Kabbalah. Idel provides insights into the dialogue between Jewish and Christian cultures through Kabbalah, highlighting figures such as Abraham Abulafia, Ramon Llull, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. The book also examines the impact of Christian Kabbalah in the 16th century and the responses of prominent Kabbalists like Moses Cordovero and Isaac Luria. It is intended for readers interested in Jewish mysticism, interfaith dialogue, and the historical interplay between different religious philosophies.
