Description

This scholarly work by Moshe Idel examines Saturnism and its profound influence on Jewish thought, tracing how the late 14th-century Sefer Ha-Peliyah connected Saturn's astrological significance to the Jewish Sabbath and sparked the mid-17th-century Sabbatean movement. Idel weaves together religious, philosophical, and historical contexts to reveal how cultural and intellectual figures inadvertently shaped one of Judaism's most transformative mass movements. By exploring the connections between ancient planetary symbolism and Jewish mysticism, the book demonstrates how obscure esoteric concepts gained unexpected cultural momentum across three centuries. Part of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Library of Judaic Studies, this work offers essential insights into Kabbalah, Jewish intellectual history, and the intersection of astrology with religious practice during a pivotal period of Jewish spiritual development.

Key Features

Moshe Idel's detailed analysis of Saturnism explores the astrological beliefs connecting Saturn to Jewish Sabbath observance and their consequences for Jewish philosophy.

The book traces the late 14th-century Sefer Ha-Peliyah's unexpected influence on the mid-17th-century Sabbatean movement, spanning three centuries of Jewish intellectual history.

This volume connects cultural, religious, and philosophical concepts to demonstrate how esoteric ideas shaped mass movements within Jewish communities.

Published by Continuum as part of the Kogod Library of Judaic Studies, providing scholarly context for Kabbalah and Jewish mystical traditions.
