The Hekhalot literature (sometimes transliterated Heichalot) from the Hebrew word for "Palaces", relating to visions of ascents into heavenly palaces. The genre overlaps with ''Merkabah'' or "Chariot" literature, concerning Ezekiel's chariot, so the two are sometimes referred to together as "Books of the Palaces and the Chariot" (ספרות ההיכלות והמרכבה). The Hekhalot literature is a genre of Jewish esoteric and revelatory texts produced some time between late antiquity – some believe from Talmudic times or earlier – to the early Middle Ages. Many motifs of later Kabbalah are based on the Hekhalot texts, and the Hekhalot literature itself is based upon earlier sources, including traditions about heavenly ascents of Enoch found among the Dead Sea scrolls and the Hebrew Bible pseudepigrapha.〔Scholem, Gershom, ''Jewish Gnosticism, Merkabah Mysticism, and the Talmudic Tradition'', 1965.〕 ==Texts== Some of the Heichalot texts are: * ''Hekhalot Zutartey'' ("The Lesser Palaces"), which details an ascent of Rabbi Akiva; * ''Hekhalot Rabbati'' ("The Greater Palaces"), or Pirkei Hekhalot, which details an ascent of Rabbi Ishmael; * ''Maaseh Merkabah'' ("Account of the Chariot"), a collection of hymns recited by the "descenders" and heard during their ascent; * ''Merkavah Rabba'' ("The great Chariot"): * ''Sepher Hekhalot'' ("Book of Palaces," also known as ''3 Enoch'') Other similar texts are:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notes on the Study of Merkabah Mysticism and Hekhalot Literature in English )〕 * ''Re'uyyot Yehezqel'' ("The Visions of Ezekiel") * ''Massekhet Hekhalot'' ("The Tractate of the Palaces") * ''Shi'ur Qomah'' ("Divine Dimensions") * ''Sepher Ha-Razim'' ("Book of the Mysteries") * ''Harba de Moshe'' ("The Sword of Moses") * ''Alphabet of Akiba ben Joseph'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hekhalot literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
