Hi, I just returned after a brief spell of holidays, so please don't mind an
answer to a post that's already a few days old.
I think you might be referring to Eco's "Focault's Pendulum". While it does
indeed give lots of facts and opinions on Kabbala, it's still a work of
_fiction_.

Yours, Robert

No. If he were a christian he would find no problem with it at all. A lot of
renaissance christian philosophers dabbled in kabbala. They had recently
rediscoverd the jewish roots of the old testament and hebrew was "the hype"
of the times.

I could give you some references, but I left Umberto Eco's book - which
states this in a lot of detail - at my workplace.
