Abstract

The paper deals with Reuchlin's concept of the Christian Kabbalah, included in his two works: De Verbo Mirifico (1494) and De arte cabalista (1517). In his early work we can find similar ideas as in Pico's concept of Kabbalah.

However, in his later work , De arte cabalistica, Reuchlin adpoted critical attitude towards his initiator (Pico) and developed a new concept of Kabbalah in the Christian world.
