    Rabbi Joseph ben Abraham Giqatilla was a prominent 13th century Jewish mystic in Spain who believed that divine names mentioned in Scripture represented the matrix of the universe. The document provides an introduction to Giqatilla's thought and education as well as his relationships with other kabbalists of his time. It maintains that Giqatilla's speculation developed through three periods - philosophical, theosophical, and theological-political - rather than a distinction between early and late works.

    Dal Bo / Emanation and Philosophy of Language


    Rabbi Joseph ben Abraham Giqatilla (1248 – c. 1325) is considered the
    most representative figure of a stream of Jewish mysticism devoted in Emanation and Philosophy of Language
    particular to the investigation of the mysteries of the divine names.
    Giqatilla believes that any appellative which Scripture attributes to God An Introduction to Joseph ben Abraham Giqatilla
    represents the very matrix of the universe. The present monograph
    intends to provide a comprehensive illustration of his thought, his
    Rabbinical education, and his relationship with other prominent
    qabbalists in thirteenth-century Spain—Abraham Abulafia and Moshe de
    Leon. Most of the previous scholarship shares the problematic assumption
    that there would be a dramatic distinction between an ‘early’ and ‘later’
    Giqatilla and that this would have reverberated into form, style, and by
    content. On the contrary, the present monograph maintains the
    fundamental assumption that specific differences between the young and Federico Dal Bo
    older Giqatilla shall not rule out the possibility of reading his entire
    speculation in a unitary, evolutionary perspective. Therefore, it argues that
    there are three periods in Giqatilla’s speculation—a ‘philosophical’ one, a
    ‘theosophical’ one, and a ‘theological-political’ one.
