Summary
Hekhalot literature, the earliest expression of Jewish mysticism, emerged in Palestine and Babylonia in late antiquity (ca. 500-900 C.E). In the present volume, an international team of experts explores the literary formation, cultural meanings, religious functions, and textual transmission of this literature.
