The first to focus attention on a specific center of Kabbalah, Moshe Idel charts the ways that Kabbalistic thought and literature developed in Italy and how its unique geographical situation facilitated the arrival of both Spanish and Byzantine Kabbalah.Idel analyzes the work of three major Kabbalists-Abraham Abulafia, Menahem Recanati, and Yohanan Alemanno-who represent diverse schools of thought: the ecstatic, the theosophical-theurgical, and the astromagical. Directing special attention to the interactions and tensions among these forms of Jewish Kabbalah and the nascent Christian Kabbalah, Idel brings to light the rich history of Kabbalah in Italy and the powerful influence of this important center on the emergence of Christian Kabbalah and European occultism in general. 606 $aCabala$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCabala$xHistory. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory. 676 $a296.1/609450902 700 $aIdel$b Moshe$f1947-$0223908 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457091403321 996 $aKabbalah in Italy, 1280-1510$92451035 997 $aUNINA
