Biblia Cabalistica; or, The Cabalistic Bible
By Rev. Walter Begley — Published in 1903
Language: English

Originally published in 1903, Biblia Cabalistica; or, The Cabalistic Bible is a unique and fascinating exploration of how numerical קבלה (Kabbalah) has been curiously and methodically applied to the Hebrew Scriptures. Written in English by Rev. Walter Begley, this work examines a range of cabalistic interpretations, drawing from rare sources and manuscripts—many of which were not available in the British Museum or other public libraries at the time.

This volume includes numerous textual examples spanning from בראשית (Bereshit – Genesis) to the apocalyptic literature, offering insight into the ways numbers, gematria, and symbolic computation were used to extract hidden meanings and spiritual messages from the sacred texts. An appendix of curiosities and a detailed bibliography further enrich the study, making this a valuable resource for students of Jewish mysticism, Christian Hebraism, and biblical numerology.

Written entirely in English and featuring the scholarly tone of early 20th-century theological inquiry, Biblia Cabalistica remains a remarkable contribution to the study of scriptural interpretation and mystical numerology.
