(Johannesburg 1859)

In this work by the rabbi of Mantua, Aviad Sar-Shalom Basilea (c.1680-1749), an attempt is made to prove that the Kabbalah is well within the mainstream of Jewish tradition. To make his point, the author musters proofs not only from rabbinic texts but also from Greek, Arabic and Renaissance philosophy.
Besides being a Kabbalist of renown, Basilea had a profound knowledge of philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and the natural sciences.
The original Italian appendix discussing geographical issues was translated to Yiddish for this edition.
