Over a period of several centuries, the classical Kabbalists developed a rich body of ritual and myth that articulated a fresh vision of the Sabbath. The mystical understanding of the Sabbath was assimilated by virtually every Jewish community. This volume is a translation and critical commentary to Sod ha-Shabbat, a treatise on the mystical Sabbath by the influential Spanish-Turkish Kabbalist, R. Meir ibn Gabbai. This important text, the most systematic treatment of the Sabbath in classical Kabbalah, has been inaccessible to the English reader until now.The study includes an Introduction to ibn Gabbai's life and work, accompanied by extensive critical notes that clarify general problems of translation and place the work in its historical context. Broader theoretical issues regarding myth and the ritual process are also discussed. 517 3 $aMystery of the Sabbath 606 $aSabbath 606 $aCabala 615 0$aSabbath. 615 0$aCabala. 676 $a296.4/1 700 $aGabbai$b Meir ben Ezekiel ibn$f1480-approximately 1540.$01890795 701 $aGinsburg$b Elliot Kiba$01490798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963778803321 996 $aSod ha-Shabbat$94533131 997 $aUNINA
