This publication is the most important monograph on Judah ben Nissim ibn Malka - a significant, if not much known 14th century Jewish philosopher, who wrote a commentary on the Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzirah) and a book on astrology. In his views he seems to have combined the teaching of the Kabbala with philosophical (mainly Neoplatonic) speculations. 275x190mm. 199 pages. Softcover. Cover lightly stained. Cover edges and corners slightly worn and dog-eared. Spine has two small tears and is lightly creased. Pages slightly yellowing. Most pages lightly creased near edge (no damage to text). This extremely rare book is otherwise in good condition.
