Medieval Hebrew: Featuring the Midrash and the Kabbalah (Forgotten Books)

Book Description:

"This is an a [text] of an early 20th Century anthology of translations of Medieval Hebrew religious texts. This is of interest because of the (abridged) translations of some Midrash texts, of which there are few public domain translations. This also contains a fascinating Middle East travelogue by a Jewish traveller in the 12th Century [AD], which also has an informal census of the Jewish population in various areas. This [text] omits the section of the original book on the Kabbalah, which simply repeats an abridged copy of the material in The Kabbalah Unveiled, a complete [text] of which can be found here." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
