Sefer haQabbalah
The Book of Tradition
Abraham ibn Daud
Translated from the Hebrew
by Gerson D. Cohen
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details
Sefer ha-Qabbalah, written in Toledo after the Jews had fled Muslim Spain following the Almohade invasion and found themselves amidst local Karaite Jews, is seeks to prove that rabbinism was the only legitimate form of Jewish life. It is therefore an excellent introduction to the rabbinic civilization that had flowered under Muslim protection. Gerson D. Cohen's edition of this historical classic provides a critical text along with translation, commentary, and analysis
The late Gerson D. Cohen was Professor of History at Columbia University. Educated at the City College of New York, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and Columbia University, he was formerly Librarian, and Assistant Professor of Jewish Literature and Institutions, at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He died in 1991.
