Este escrito de Robert Graves, publicado en 1958 tiene el objetivo de informar de un tema muy controvertido desde Mallorca a los extranjeros, tan exóticos para nosotros como nosotros para ellos.

The goal of this book is to provide a genuine picture of the true Kabbalah. The study of Kabbalah involves a good comprehension of its general idea, as well as its concepts.

These systems make us understand the purpose of our actions, their interactions with the superior realms, the hidden messages and meanings in the Torah. With a deeper understanding of the reasons and goals of all these actions, one could definitely ascend to a higher level of service and closeness to his Creator. In this book, the reader will find most of the basic concepts as well as some more advanced, to get on the right path of truly understanding the Kabbalah.
La presencia de judíos en Jaén se data documentalmente desde tiempos visigodos, pero debieron de instalarse muchos antes. Con el califato cordobés gozaron de una etapa de prosperidad que se acabó con la llegada de los almorávides y almohades. A partir de la conquista del territorio giennense por los cristianos se suceden etapas de tolerancia con otras de antisemitismo; se establece la Inquisición para perseguir a los falsos convertidos y son expulsados en 1492 los que se mantuvieron judíos.
