Cabbala
or KABBALAH, a system of Jewish theosophy, bearing a certain similarity to Neo-Platonism. Its founders are considered by Dr. Ginsburg to have been Isaac the Blind and his disciples Ezra and Azariel of Zerona, who flourished between A. D. 1200 and 1230.
It was designed to oppose the philosophical system of Maimonides. The cabbala represented God, called Ain Soph, meaning without end or boundless, as being ing utterly inconceivable. He has become known, however, by means of ten intelligences, named Crown, Wisdom, Intelligence, Love, Justice, etc., whom he has brought into being, and by whom he created and now governs the world.
