"Sources and Studies in the Literature of Jewish Mysticism"

Lurianic Kabbalah: Collected Studies by Gershom Scholem (All In
Hebrew!); (Sources and Studies in the Literature of Jewish Mysticism,
volume 22; 2008, 440 pages; ISBN 1-933379-09-X, in HEBREW) This volume
(all in Hebrew) celebrates the groundbreaking work of Gershom Scholem
on Kabbalistic literary and mystical activity from the end of the
fifteenth century, just prior to the Expulsion from Spain and until
the rise of Sabbateanism. At the heart of this collection are all of
Gershom Scholem's detailed studies on R. Isaac Luria, his teachers,
students and the works that emerged from Safed, including numerous
texts which he introduced and explained. All sixteen studies are
reproduced here, re-typeset, along with a Hebrew translation of the
chapter on Isaac Luria and his School, from his Major Trends in Jewish
Mysticism - all updated with Scholem's post-publication handnotes from
his personal library and annotated with full bibliographic references,
manuscript identifications and followed by a complete bibliography in
all languages of all studies about the forms of Kabbalah from the
periods treated in this volume. The volume is introduced with a
typological appreciation of the various methods and scholarship that
emerged from Scholem's foundational work. This volume is an essential
research tool for the serious study of Jewish mysticism.
