Beschreibung

Translated by Christopher Atton and Stephen Dziklewicz; Edited with an Introduction by Adam McLean; No. 23 in series; Limited to 250 numbered copies signed by Adam McLean; Bound in leatherette; 124 pages. At the end of the first volume of the important 17th century Kabbalistic compendium, the Kabbalah Denudata of Knorr von Rosenroth, there is a section containing 16 kabbalistic diagrams together with a text in Latin explaining the symbolism. These diagrams and the text illustrate the key ideas of Lurianic kabbalah. This present book reproduces these diagrams and provides a translation of the text, putting into print for the first time a valuable and unique source for the kabbalistic ideas during the mid 17th century. The diagrams relate in form to hermetic-alchemical figures of the same period. It is from material such as this that the 'Kabbalistic' tradition as pursued today in Western occultism has emerged, rather than directly from the Jewish tradition, so this volume gives us some valuable insights into the roots of Western kabbalah.
