The Zohar: ScholiumPerush Volume I - Bilingual, presents the Prologue of the Zohar, the luminous introduction to the central work of Kabbalah, in a translation of unmatched philological and spiritual precision. Elizeu A. Souza offers not merely a literal-semantic rendering of the Aramaic text, but a full restitution of its original rhythm and architecture, faithfully based on the Sulam Edition (Jerusalem, 1945) by Rabbi Yehudah Leib HaLevi Ashlag. In this first volume, the author unites and synthesizes the erudite tradition of many generations Cordovero, Luria, Ashlag, Buzaglo, Ibn Lavi, and the ancient Mekubalim who saw in the Zohar the solar brilliance of the Land of Israel. Their teachings are gathered into a single explanatory body the ScholiumPerush where each passage is illuminated through a precise synthesis of classical rabbinic and Kabbalistic wisdom, allowing the Zohar to shine anew through the lens of the ancient masters. The result is a dual reading: first, the Zohar itself, restored in its pure semantic light; second, a commentary of luminous clarity, faithful to the voice of the earliest interpreters. The Zohar: ScholiumPerush makes the sacred text resound once again as the sun of Torah, revealing the mysteries of Bereshit, the "Lily among the Thorns," and the union of the Hidden and the Revealed a work of profound erudition and sacred coherence, where the wisdom of the ancients speaks once more to the contemplative seeker of our age.
