PREFACE
IN
the
year
1902
I
endeavoured
in
The
Doctrine
and
Literature
of
the
Kabalah
to
offer
a
consideration
in
detail
of
the
chief
texts
which
embody
the
Secret
Tradition
in
Israel,
together
with
some
account
of
the
influenced
Christian
scholarship
in
Europe
during
the
i6th,
iyth
and
i8th
centuries,
or
broadly
speaking,
from
the
period
of
Picus
de
Mirandula
until
the
eve
of
the
French
Revolution.
The
publication
of
Sepher
Ha
Zohar,
or
The
Book
of
Splendour,
which
is
the
palmary
Kabalistic
text,
for
the
first
time
in
another

it
manner
which
language
than
the
original
Chaldaic,
took
place
in

the
years
1906
and

hands
of
modern
students

remains

our

I
believe
that
I
shall
be
in

with
all
scholarship

I
express
my
concurrence
when
he
says
that

added
mainly
their
