Abraham Abulafia | The Life and Mind of the Man, the Myth, the Mystic

"In the latter part of the thirteenth century, at the time when theosophic kabbalah was flourishing, there emerged an alternative kabbalistic tradition with a different focus. The main exponent of this tradition was Abraham Abulafia."
Explore one of the most important, prolific, complex and controversial figures in the history of Jewish mysticism. A self-proclaimed, Prophet and Messiah, an itinerant Mystic who risked his life attempting to meet the Pope. Banned and ostracized, during his own life time, he has now returned to his rightful place in epic story of Kabbalah.
