توضیحات
Sefer Yeirah, or ‘Book of Formation,’ is one of the most influential Jewish compositions of late antiquity. First attested to in the tenth century C.E. and attributed by some to the patriarch Abraham himself, Sefer Yeirah claims that the world was created by the powers of the decimal number system and the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This short, enigmatic treatise was considered canonical by Jewish philosophers and Kabbalists and has fascinated Western thinkers and writers as diverse as Leibnitz and Borges. Nonetheless, Sefer Yesirah is nearly impossible to contextualize, mainly owing to its unique style and the fact that it does not refer to, nor is it referenced by, any other source in late antiquity. After a century and a half of modern scholarship, the most fundamental questions regarding its origins remain contested: Who wrote Sefer Yeirah? Where and when was it written? What was its ‘original’ version? What is the meaning of this treatise?
In ‘Sefer Yeirah’ and Its Contexts, Tzahi Weiss explores anew the history of this enigmatic work. Through careful scrutiny of the text’s evolution, he traces its origins to the seventh century C.E., to Jews who lived far from rabbinic circles and were familiar with the teachings of Syriac Christianity. In addition, he examines the reception of Sefer Yeirah by anonymous commentators and laypeople who, as early as the twelfth century C.E., regarded Sefer Yeirah as a mystical, mythical, or magical treatise, thus significantly differing from the common rabbinic view in that period of the text as a philosophical and scientific work. Examined against the backdrop of this newly sketched historical context, Sefer Yeirah provides a unique and surprising aperture to little-known Jewish intellectual traditions of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages which, despite their distance from the rabbinic canon, played a vital role in the development of medieval Jewish learning and culture.

Sefer Yeirah یا “کتاب شکل گیری” یکی از تأثیرگذارترین ساخته های یهودی اواخر دوران باستان است. سفر یرا که برای اولین بار در قرن دهم پس از میلاد گواهی می شود و توسط برخی به پدرسالار ابراهیم نسبت داده شده است، ادعا می کند که جهان با قدرت سیستم اعداد اعشاری و بیست و دو حرف عبری ایجاد شده است. الفبا. این رساله کوتاه و مرموز توسط فیلسوفان و کابالیست های یهودی متعارف تلقی می شد و متفکران و نویسندگان غربی را مجذوب خود کرده است که متفاوت از لایبنیتس و بورخس هستن
