Abstract

This article offers a diachronic assessment of the various studies of Gershom Scholem on the Zohar. Shifts in his positions and different choices in methodologies are uncovered to offer a more complex picture of how Scholem worked and the choices he made at each point in his scholarly career. This overview presents the many strategies that Scholem considered but did not necessarily adopt in his published research and that anticipated the many moves taken in recent scholarship.
