Written in a lyrical Aramaic, the Zohar, a masterpiece of Kabbalah, features mystical interpretation of the Torah, from Genesis to Deuteronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tenth volume of \u003ci\u003eThe Zohar: Pritzker Edition\u003c\/i\u003e presents \u003ci\u003eMidrash ha-Ne'lam\u003c\/i\u003e on the Torah, the earliest texts of the Zoharic corpus and first fruits of the Zoharic world. In contrast to the main body of the Zohar, \u003ci\u003eMidrash ha-Ne'lam\u003c\/i\u003e is composed in both Aramaic and Hebrew; its style combines philosophical allegory and kabbalistic midrash. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParticularly noteworthy is the extended allegorical interpretation of the patriarchal narratives. They are read as an account of the descent of the soul, its adventures on earth, and its wandering journey after death, finally culminating in its reunion with the perfected body following resurrection. Quintessential Zoharic motifs such as \"walking on the way\" and the \"nocturnal delight in the Garden of Eden\" make their first appearances here. The volume also includes many short narratives featuring the \"Masters of Mishnah,\" a group of sages possessing esoteric knowledge of the soul and the cosmos, the forerunner of the Zoharic fellowship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Wolski\u003c\/b\u003e is the Liberman Family Lecturer in Jewish Studies with the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation, Monash University, Australia.
