 | | In the Latin collection of Pistorius the marrow of philosophical Kabbalism is presented in the form of certain terse propositions or dogmas, according to one of which the ways of eternity are thirty-two--Viæ æternitatis sunt triginta duo. |
 | | It tabulates the special graces and illuminations which may be communicated to man from above by means of these channels, and is not unimportant, because it shows that Kabbalism, even on its most speculative and formal side, had a practical application to the human mind, and was not a purely arbitrary system. |
 | | The comparatively modern accent of this tabulation will occur to the reader, but its quotation was necessary to exhibit the intellectual profit believed to follow from the study of Kabbalism, and still more that it was in the last resource the understanding of man methodised, embracing, as such, the entire circle attributed to human knowledge. |
