Introduction, Translation, and Explanation of Four Major Versions of the Book of Formation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The study of the Sefer Yetsirah begins <\/strong>with a word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence examination of the text itself. This study therefore requires familiarity with the text of this major work of Kabbalah and its various versions. Among the versions of this book, four are considered major:– The version of the Vatican Manuscript (Hebrew) 299 <\/a>which is the oldest known version (10th century)– The short and long versions of the Mantua First Edition (1562)– Saadia Gaon<\/a>\u2019s version.Jean Yves Legouas\u2019s book explains, translates, and comments on these four versions in a bilingual edition, complete with a glossary of terms. It is an essential work for anyone seeking to begin understanding this great book. Preface by Jean Baumgarten<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
