A Kabbalistic Universe is about how and why Existence came into being. It sets out the general scheme of the four Worlds of Emanation, Creation, Formation and Action and heir various archangelic, angelic, demonic and organic inhabitants. Drawing upon ancient, medieval and modern material this book brings the Kabbalistic tradition up to date so that the current generation can perceive what Existence is about and how they might play a conscious part in humanity's role of aiding God to behold God in the Mirror of Existence. This is a revised edition with additional graphics. These make the Divine principles involved more comprehensible. Once the terms and metaphysics are mastered, then new perceptions are possible regarding not only the structure and dynamics of Existence but also the workings of the angelics and demonics, Nature and the process of human evolution and its purpose.

"This book contains an edition--with an extensive introduction, translation and commentary--of The Light of the World, a text on theoretical astronomy by Joseph Ibn Naḥmias, composed in Judeo-Arabic around 1400 C.E. in the Iberian Peninsula. As the only text on theoretical astronomy written by a Jew in any variety of Arabic, this work is evidence for a continuing relationship between Jewish and Islamic thought in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. The text's most lasting effect may have been exerted via its passage to Renaissance Italy, where it influenced scholars at the University of Padua in the early sixteenth century. With its crucial role in the development of European astronomy, as well as the physical sciences under Islam and in Jewish culture, The Light of the World is an important episode in Islamic intellectual history, Jewish civilization, and the history of astronomy."--

""A Study of Gersonides in His Proper Perspective"" by Nima H. Adlerblum is a scholarly work that explores the life, philosophy, and contributions of Levi ben Gershon, also known as Gersonides. Gersonides was a Jewish philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, and commentator who lived in Provence, France, during the 13th century. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Gersonides' philosophical ideas, including his views on metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. It also examines his contributions to mathematics and astronomy, particularly his work on the Jewish calendar. The author contextualizes Gersonides' ideas within the broader intellectual and historical context of medieval Europe and the Jewish tradition.
