Messianic Mysticism
Moses Hayim Luzzatto and the Padua School
Translated from Hebrew by Morris Hoffman
Introduction by Joseph Dan
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details
Isaiah Tishby, through his study of hitherto unknown manuscripts and of published works, succeeded in revising the prevalent view of the beliefs and outlook of Luzzatto and his disciples. Luzzatto is confirmed by this book as a central figure at the origins of all modern Jewish movements and as one of the most profound mystics in the history of Jewish culture
Isaiah Tishby was Emeritus Professor of Philosophical, Mythical, and Ethical Hebrew at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem until his death in 1992. He was awarded the Bialik Prize 1972, the Israel Prize 1979, and the Rothschild Prize 1982, mainly for his work on The Wisdom of the Zohar, the English translation of which was published by the Littman Library.
Morris Hoffman studied Hebrew at the School of Oriental and African Studies and University College London, subsequently specializing in Jewish history and religion, and has translated many scholarly articles in this field.
Joseph Dan is Emeritus Gershom Scholem Professor Emeritus of Kabbalah at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
