The book surveys Abulafia's sources and concentrates on the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, as well as Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, the people of Israel or the Sinatic revelation. 520 This book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. A survey of Abulafia's sources leads into an analysis of the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, considering also the possible connection between this parable, which Abdulafia inserted into a book dedicated to his student, the 13th century rabbi Nathan the wise, and the Lessing's Play "Nathan the Wise." The book also examines Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, and the people of Israel (or the Sinaic revelation). The universal aspects of Abulafia’s thought have been put in relief against the more widespread Kabbalistic views which are predominantly particularistic. A number of texts have also been identified here for the first time as authored by Abulafia. 546 In English. 505 00 |tFrontmatter -- |tContents -- |tAcknowledgments -- |tForeword: A Maimonidean Kabbalist -- |tI Introduction: Secrecy and Maimonideanism -- |tII Abraham Abulafia’s Studies and Teaching -- |tIII Persecution and Secrets -- |tIV The Parable of the Pearl and its Interpretations -- |tV Abulafia’s Kabbalah versus other Kabbalists -- |tVI Appendices -- |tAbbreviations -- |tBibliography -- |tIndex of Sources -- |tIndex of Names and Places -- |tSubject Index 530 Issued also in print. 650 7 HISTORY / Jewish. |2bisacsh 653 Medieval philosophy, Kabbalah, esotericism, Maimonides. 776 |z3-11-060085-4 700 1 Zev Harvey, Warren, |econtributor. |4ctb |4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 830 0 Studies and Texts in Scepticism 906 BOOK
