Through a Speculum That Shines: Vision and Imagination in Medieval Jewish Mysticism
Elliot R. Wolfson
Offering a treatment of visionary experience in some of the main texts of Jewish mysticism, this book reveals the visual nature of religious experience in Jewish spirituality from antiquity through the late Middle Ages. It shows how Jewish mystics preserved the invisible transcendence of God without doing away with the visual dimension of belief.
