Trade Review"This sensitive commentary and translation of the classic text of Kabbalah is of foundational importance for an understanding of "Jewish mysticism.'"—
Jewish Book World"While translation may be an art, it can also be genuine scholarship of the highest order. . . . Restoring the
Zohar to our comprehension, these volumes are a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought."
—Koret Jewish Book Award,
Philosophy and Thought, 2003-2004,
The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volumes I and II"A powerfully poetic rendition of this spiritual masterpiece. . . . Matt's new
Zohar is a classic already in its first two volumes. The edition alone, or the translation alone, or the commentary alone would be a major contribution. The whole is a work of art."
—
Journal of the American Academy of Religion"More than a translation, this projected twelve-volume Pritzker edition amounts to an encyclopedia of the Zohar and is set to become one of the single most important contributions to the topic in the English-speaking world."—
