Description:

This study focuses on adjurations or elaborate ritual performances that form a part of the early Jewish mystical literature known as the Hekhalot literature, stemming from Palestine and Babylonia in the fourth through eighth centuries C.E. In addition to the adjurations, this literature contains instructions for ascents to heaven, the liturgy of the angels, and descriptions of God and the divine world.
