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.
