summary

This volume, rich in information of Kabbalistic principles and the occult circles of the day and their interrelations, was authored by German scholar and theologian Johann Wachter (1663-1757) in response to Johann Peter Spaeth (i.e Moses Germanus), and takes a surprisingly positive view of Kabbalah as a whole.
