The "e;Sepher Yetzirah,"e; or "e;Book of Formation,"e; is perhaps the oldest Rabbinical treatise of Kabalistic philosophy which is still extant. The "e;Sepher Yetzirah, although this name means "e;The Book of Formation,"e; is not in any sense a narrative of Creation, or a substitute Genesis, but is an ancient and instructive philosophical treatise upon one aspect of the origin of the universe and mankind; an aspect at once archaic and essentially Hebrew.This new large print edition is followed by an Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah.
