Scholem (1897-1982) , born in Berlin, was a leading authority in Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism. He joined the Zionist movement as a student, and believed that this implied a thorough understanding of the full historical, religious, and cultural tradition of Judaism, to the study and interpretation of which he henceforward devoted himself. He studied at Berlin, Jena, Berne, and Munich, and earned his doctorate in 1922. After WWI, Scholem was part of the faculty of several academic institutions in Israel, and [i]n 1962 he was elected vice-president and in 1968 president of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. He was a consulting editor to the Encyclopaedia Judaica. (Werblowsky, EJ) Top corner bumped, very good condition. (HEB-4-2)
