Description

Explore the complex history of Saturnism and its connection to Jewish tradition in this scholarly work. Moshe Idel examines the belief that Saturn, the seventh planet in ancient astrology, was linked to the Jewish people through the celebration of the Sabbath on the seventh day. This study investigates how historical and religious concepts shaped the Jewish world during significant periods. The book provides a deep look at the anonymous 14th-century text Sefer Ha-Peliyah and its lasting impact on Jewish history. Idel tracks how these ideas led to major consequences three centuries later, specifically during the mid-17th-century mass-movement of Sabbateanism. By looking at the cultural, historical, and philosophical ideas of the time, this work shows how various agents influenced these massive religious shifts. It is an essential read for those interested in Kabbalah, religious history, and the intersection of astrology and faith.
