Kabbalah
Kabbalah is a tradition of Jewish mysticism and esoteric interpretation.
Established Key texts include the Sefer Yetzirah (date debated, often placed between the third and sixth centuries CE), the Bahir (twelfth-century Provence) and the Zohar, which appeared in late thirteenth-century Castile. Isaac Luria (1534–1572) of Safed founded an influential school.[1][2] Tradition / belief Tradition attributes the Zohar to the second-century sage Shimon bar Yochai.[3] Established Most modern scholars, following Gershom Scholem, attribute the composition of most of the Zohar to Moses de León and his circle.[4] Established Latin selections from the Zohar were published by Christian Knorr von Rosenroth in Kabbala Denudata (1677–1684), partly translated into English by S.L. MacGregor Mathers in 1887.[5]
