Description

The Zohar Pritzker Edition, Volume Two by Daniel C. Matt is a comprehensive translation of this medieval masterpiece of Kabbalah. Spanning over 460 pages in its first volume, the Zohar is a unique work that combines commentary and mystical novel, exploring the secrets of Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. Written in Aramaic, the text has been translated into English for the first time, offering readers a new perspective on this enigmatic work. The Zohar's narrative follows Rabbi Shim'on son of Yohai, a saintly disciple of Rabbi Akiva, as he and his companions wander through Galilee, uncovering secrets of Torah and interpreting biblical figures in a mystical context. This volume is the first part of a projected ten-volume translation, providing an unparalleled opportunity for readers to engage with this fascinating text.
