FERNANDO PESSOA AND THE CABALISTIC THOUGHT
Keywords:
Fernando Pessoa, kabbalah, archive, Pessoa's private library, National Library of PortugalAbstract
This article aims to explore the relationship between Fernando Pessoa's work and Kabbalistic thought. Indeed, throughout the writings of Fernando Pessoa's archive, preserved in the National Library of Portugal, we find a multiplicity of testimonies that allow us to confirm the Portuguese author's interest in themes related to the Kabbalah. These writings are the echo of the reading of a multiplicity of books found in Fernando Pessoa’s Private Library. Thus, based on Pessoa's writings on Kabbalah and the books read by the Portuguese poet and thinker in this regard, we show the impact of readings related to Kabbalah in the work of Fernando Pessoa.
