"Nathan Neta ben Shlomo Shapira (1585-1633), the most famous kabbalist stemming from
the Jewish intellectual environment of Poland, has remained one of the least studied
figures in modern scholarship. Shapira is generally acknowledged as the most important
early-modern Ashkenazi kabbalist, whose influence on later Eastern-European mystical
circles is well attested. His major treatise, Megalleh ʻAmuqot, one the most complex
kabbalistic texts ever written, combines variegated strata of older mystical traditions,
to which the author applies diverse, often obscure modes of interpretation. In considering
medieval Ashkenazi mysticism as Shapira's formative background, the book focuses on
Enoch-Metatron cluster of traditions, which was as central to Shapira's thought as
it was to his Ashkenazi predecessors. The Enoch-Metatron constellation of motifs serves
as a vehicle for exploring Shapira's dependence on Ashkenazi imagery and interpretive
methodologies, which he accessed through multiple channels of both direct and indirect
transmission."--Back cover
