Focusing on the "wandering kabbalist" Isaac ben Samuel of Akko, Fishbane (Jewish Theological Seminary, New York) brings to light the mystical writings of a little-studied 13th-14th century kabbalist whose work (notably, Me'irat 'Einayim) reflects two modes of medieval Kabbalah: the traditional Nahmanidean Kabbalah of serifotand the Sufi-inspired Kabbalah of the Eastern lands where he traveled. Following a survey of models of exegesis, the author offers an alternative interpretation of Isaac of Akko's approach to symbolic readings of liturgy and emphasis on prayer and mystical contemplation techniques as theurgical actions affecting the Divine.
