The article deals with several examples of quotations, explicit and implicit, of the Liber de Causis in the works of early Kabbalists, in particular in the works of Azriel of Gerona and of Abraham Abulafia (12th century). Special attention is given to the further developements of these fragments of Hebrew translations of the Liber de Causis, sometimes attributed to Aristotle or to Plato, in the Renaissance, both in the works of Johanan Alemanno and of Joseph Solomon Delmedigo and in the woks of the Christian Kabbalists in the Renaissance. The main result of this survey consists in an analysis of the role of the Liber de Causis as an apologetical tool for the Kabbalists ad extra.

Abstract
The article deals with several examples of quotations, explicit and implicit, of the Liber de Causis in the works of early Kabbalists, in particular in the works of Azriel of Gerona and of Abraham Abulafia (12th century). Special attention is given to the further developements of these fragments of Hebrew translations of the Liber de Causis, sometimes attributed to Aristotle or to Plato, in the Renaissance, both in the works of Johanan Alemanno and of Joseph Solomon Delmedigo and in the woks of the Christian Kabbalists in the Renaissance. The main result of this survey consists in an analysis of the role of the Liber de Causis as an apologetical tool for the Kabbalists ad extra.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
