| Description |
Yohanan ben Isaac Alemanno (1435-1505?) was an Italian kabbalist,philosopher and physician. In his less known autograph, Paris, BnF héb. 849,he incorporated contemporary Christian magic sources with kabbalah,providing a practical method to ascend to the upper worlds for gainingprophecy. This article brings together Alemanno’s autograph andcontemporary magical works, in order to demonstrate a radical change inAlemanno’s approach towards demonic magic, and the way he interpreted itusing a cosmology he developed. Then, Alemanno’s cosmology will be usedfor reconsidering a concept of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494):The Triplex Merkabah |
