[90] This Epistle of Abulafia has been published by Jellinek in his Auswahl kabbalistischer Mystik, part i. p. 13, &c., Leipzig, 1853, who also gives the above analysis, which we have translated as literally as possible. [91] Comp. Jellinek, Beiträge zur Geschichte der Kabbala, part ii, p. 60, &c.; Steinschneider, Catalogus Libr. Hebr. in Bibliotheca Bodleiana, Col. 1461–1470. [92] Comp. Tennemann, Geschichte der Philosophie, vol. viii. p. 837. [93] Dicitur haec doctrina Kabbala quod idem est secundum Hebraeos ut receptio veritatis cujuslibet rei divinitus revelatae animae rationali.... Est igitur Kabbala habitus anima rationalis ex rectâ ratione divinarum rerum cognitivus; propter quod est de maximo etiam divino consequutive divina scientia vocari debet. Comp. De Auditu Kabbalistico, sive ad omnes scientias introductorium. Strasburg, 1651. [94] For the other works of Recanti, both published and unpublished, as well as for the exact date of his literary labours, we must refer to Steinschneider, Catalogus Libr. Hebr. in Bibliotheca Bodleiana, Col. 1733–1737; and to Fürst, Bibliotheca Judaica, vol. iii, pp. 135, 136. [95] The MS. of Ibn Wakkar’s Treatise is minutely described by Uri (No 384). It is written in a character resembling the later German Hebrew, is furnished with references to the passages in the Bible and verbal translations in Latin, and contains such clerical blunders as no Hebrew copyist would commit. The above analysis of it is taken from the article in Ersch und Gruber’s Allgemeine Encyklopädie, section ii, vol. xxxi, p. 100, &c., written by the erudite Steinschneider. For the other Kabbalistic works of Ibn Wakkar we must refer to the same elaborate article. [96] This ‏ברית מנוחה‎ has been published in Amsterdam, 1648.
