Abstract

688
In the present paper we offer some considerations on Peter Cole’s figure and work. Peter Cole is an important poet and translator of the Hebrew and Arabic poetry produced in Spain around the 10th and 15th centuries. These considerations are developed in the frame of Kabbalah and its History, specifically we will focus on Abraham Abulafia, one of the most essential character in the Kabalistic tradition. Abulafia acts as a kind of bridge to know the poetry of Kabbalah from a detailed point of view. In this sense we collect in the second part of the paper an interpretation of five selected poems from the Kabbalistic tradition and we explore their meaning, power and strength of the verses from own Cole’s view.
