Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin of Letters and Numerals According to the Sefer Yetzirah
How did He combine them, weigh them, and change them? 1: with all of them and all of them with x; 1, with all of them and all of them with 2; and so all of them with all of them turning around in order; thus all words and all existing forms are derived from them.

The Origin of Letters and Numerals According to the Sefer Yetzirah
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic Sefer Yetzirah, a foundational text of Jewish mysticism and philosophy. The author contends that this ancient work, often shrouded in obscurity, is best understood as an early Hebrew grammar containing profound insights into the origin of letters and numerals. Challenging centuries of interpretation, the author argues that the Sefer Yetzirah's system of "Sefirot" refers not to abstract philosophical concepts but to a primitive numeral system of strokes and circles, akin to ancient counting methods. This book posits that the Hebrew alphabet itself evolved from these numerical symbols, linking language and mathematics in a profound way. Exploring the connections between the Sefer Yetzirah and other ancient systems of writing and numeration, the author sheds light on the historical context of alphabetic development. Delving into the mystical significance of the Tetragrammaton and the Hebrew vowels, this book unveils the hidden connections between language, cosmology, and divine creation as understood in early Jewish thought. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the Sefer Yetzirah, revealing its insights into the origins of language and mathematics as a testament to the enduring power of human curiosity and the quest for knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243266098_0
