It was first published at Cracow in 1591. The Pardes Rimmonim is composed of 32 gates or sections, subdivided into chapters. It was a considered a basis of the Kabbalistic outlook until ultimately being overshadowed by the works of Isaac Luria. The work is an encyclopedic summary of the Kabbalah, including an effort to "elucidate all the tenets of the Cabala, such as the doctrines of the sefirot, emanation, the divine names, the import and significance of the alphabet, etc." The Pardes Rimonim was one of the most widely read and influential Kabbalistic works. He notes that he composed the Pardes Rimonim "in order not to become lost and confused in its depths". Pardes Rimonim was the first comprehensive exposition of Medieval Kabbalah, though its rationally influenced scheme was superseded by the subsequent 16th century Safed mythological scheme of Isaac Luria.Ĭordovero indicates in his introduction that the work is based upon notes he took during his study of the Zohar, the foundational work of the Kabbalah. 16th century Safed saw the theoretical systemisation of previous Kabbalistic theosophical views. Pardes Rimonim (meaning " Pardes-Orchard of Pomegranates ", sometimes known as the Pardes) is a primary text of Kabbalah, composed in 1548 by the Jewish mystic Moses ben Jacob Cordovero in Safed, Galilee.
