Qabbalah The Philosophical Writings of Solomon Ben Yehuda Ibn Gabirol by Isaac Myer
Publication: 1970 Samuel Weiser Inc. First Impression
Originally published in 1888, this is the first impression of the Weiser Reprint. About as nice a copy as you will find.
Considered "the first comprehensive book on Qabbalah printed in the United States, and the most learned and up to date book on Kabbalah in English at the time." His views on the history and significance o f the Kabbalah are based on comparative and philological-historical research. However, his interest in the Kabbalah was not purely historical. He believed it had a theological, and a spiritual aim. He believed that the study of the ancient origins of qabbalah would reinvigorate a revival in Christian Mysticism. Hence, enable a formation of a new theology that would reunite all devided religions. - Boaz Huss
