Description: Secrecy and Esoteric Writing in Kabbalistic Literature, Hardcover by Dauber, Jonathan, ISBN 1512822744, ISBN-13 9781512822748, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "This book examines the strategies of esoteric writing that Kabbalists have used to conceal secrets in their writings, such that casual readers will only understand the surface meaning of their texts while those with greater insight will grasp the internal meaning. In addition to a broad description of esoteric writing throughout the long literary history of Kabbalah, this work analyzes kabbalistic secrecy in light of contemporary theories of secrecy.

Accordingly, it finds points of contact between scholars of various religious traditions"--
