Zohar

Central work of Jewish mysticism. It is a discourse on the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible), written in Aramaic by the Spanish writer Moses de Leon (c. 1270–1300). It contains mystical speculations on the creation of the first humans, as well as ethical meditations on the nature of the soul, prayer, and related subjects; and also much legendary material. The Zohar is the most important text of the Kabbalah.
