Abstract
En esta aproximacion hermeneutica a la Cabala y al Zohar, desde la doble perspectiva de la historia de las ideas y de la lectura de unos textos surgidos en un tiempo y en un contexto determinado, queremos indagar en el componente historico y temporal de la mistica cabalista. La Cabala medieval, siendo de por si una experiencia de lo numinoso, marcada por lo ahistorico, no es ajena por completo a las vivencias historicas. Es esta la busqueda de una compresion de los lazos que unen la emergencia de lo mistico y el tiempo historico vivido en el seno del judaismo medieval espanol. In this hermeneutical approach to Kabbalah and the Zohar, from the double perspective of the history of ideas and the reading of texts that emerged in a given time and context, we want to investigate the historical and temporal component of the cabalistic mysticism. The medieval Kabbalah, being in itself an experience of the numinous marked by the ahistorical, is not completely alien to the historical experiences. This is the search for a compression of the bonds that unite the emergence of the mystic and the historical time lived in the heart of Spanish medieval Judaism.
