The Sefer Yetzirah

The Sefer Yetsirah or Book of Creation is attributed, according to tradition, to the Patriarch Abraham. this famous book deals with the Creation of the World by the Paths of Wisdom, the divine Names, the Sefirot , the letters, the months of the year and the zodiac signs. It is a complex and major work in the study of Kabbalah. Based on a 13th century Spanish manuscript belonging to the National Library of France, our conference will study this book and its reception.
