Derush Ha-Da’at is the most concentrated structural key to Lurianic Kabbalah ever composed. Written by Chaim Vital, the Ari’s primary heir, this treatise distills the complete architectural grammar of the Lurianic system into a single volume featuring over one hundred diagrams. It explores the five divine configurations (Partzufim), the mediating principle of Da’at, and the fractal patterns across all levels of reality.

This edition presents the first complete English translation of the text’s three compositional strata. It includes a seven-chapter introduction situating the work in 16th-century Safed and tracing its impact on meditative intention (kavvanot) and cosmic repair (tikkun). Extensive appendices provide a glossary, manuscript history, and a cross-reference index linking these structural topics to the broader Lurianic corpus.
