The enigmatic and fascinating figure of Rabbi Abraham Abulafia (1240-1291) has generated a lot of literature. He has interested scholars who have immersed themselves in his texts as well as fiction authors, such as Umberto Eco, who made him the indirect protagonist of one of his novels. Known as the "Master of the Name" and a pioneer in experimentation with the combinatorics of Hebrew letters, the figure of Abulafia has been the subject of controversy and analysis.
