Abstract:
This note analyzes how Jewish medieval authors used the verb le-ha‘tiq(“to translate”, “to copy”) to illustrate the transmission of souls into succes-sive bodies. In the theory of the transmigration of the soul, the use of ‘ataqfollows this logic of a movement from A to B and then to C and so on. Thiswould then become a repetition ad infinitum until the soul is perfected (orcondemned to destruction).
