Description

Description from Gegnir/Leitir — Icelandic Union Catalogue

In the study of Judaism, the Zohar has captivated the minds of interpreters for over seven centuries, and continues to entrance readers in the modern day. Yet despite these centuries of study, very little attention has been devoted to the literary dimensions of the text. This title argues that the Zohar story must be understood first and foremost as a work of the fictional imagination.
