This sensitive commentary and translation of the classic text of Kabbalah is of foundational importance for an understanding of Jewish mysticism.' -Jewish Book World While translation may be an art, it can also be genuine scholarship of the highest order... Restoring the Zohar to our comprehension, these volumes are a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought. -Koret Jewish Book Award, Philosophy and Thought, 2003-2004, The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volumes I and II A powerfully poetic rendition of this spiritual masterpiece... Matt's new Zohar is a classic already in its first two volumes. The edition alone, or the translation alone, or the commentary alone would be a major contribution. The whole is a work of art. -Journal of the American Academy of Religion More than a translation, this projected twelve-volume Pritzker edition amounts to an encyclopedia of the Zohar and is set to become one of the single most important contributions to the topic in the English-speaking world. -Times Literary Supplement
