| book description |

Die Erforschung der frÃ¼hen jÃ¼dischen Mystik (Merkavah-Mystik) hat in den letzten 30 Jahren gewaltige Fortschritte gemacht. Das alte Modell einer linearen Entwicklung, ausgehend von einem einmaligen und mÃ¶glichst frÃ¼hen Ursprung, wird zunehmend durch neue Einsichten in die spezifischen - und sich wandelnden - kulturellen Kontexte in Frage gestellt, in denen diese Mystik entstand und ihren literarischen Niederschlag fand. Das byzantinische PalÃ¤stina und das sassanidische Babylonien kristallisieren sich als die beiden entscheidenden Brennpunkte der Merkavah-Mystik heraus. Im vorliegenden Band untersuchen internationale Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Disziplinen und demnach auch unterschiedlichen Perspektiven die literarische Entstehung, kulturelle Bedeutung, religiÃ¶se Funktion und Ãœberlieferung der Hekhalot Literatur.
