Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought." —Koret Jewish Book Award,
The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volumes I and II
"Daniel Matt's work is superior to any other available translation of the
Zohar because of its superb poetic language, the exegetical contribution of its copious notes, and its superior underlying Aramaic text, which was specially prepared by Dr. Matt from numerous original Zohar manuscripts."—Moshe Idel, Max Cooper Professor of Jewish Thought, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
"A superbly fashioned translation and commentary that opens up the
Zohar to the English-speaking world. The lucidity and overwhelming relevance of Matt's
Zohar will provide both common and uncommon readers with access to a work capable of changing the consciousness of those who enter it."—Harold Bloom, Max Sterling Professor of Humanities, Yale University
"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"Daniel Matt's new translation of the
Zohar . . . will quickly become the definitive and unrivaled English edition of one of the pre-eminent classics of world mystical literature."—
