Gematria Refigured presents the discoveries that led to the author’s transformation from a gematria skeptic to a gematria lover. It develops a theory which elucidates how the Torah and Chazal use gematria to direct us toward a very specific type of idea. Through its many examples, this work illustrates how gematria can help us uncover novel insights, while providing interesting and clearly formulated perspectives into many mitzvos, themes, and stories in Tanach.

Do you want to read the Bible properly? Brought to you from the creator of the Shematria Gematria Calculator, 'Behold' is a comprehensive guide to the Art and Practice of Gematria. Gematria is and was so much more than people think it is today. For the scribes of the bible, it was a formal system of early mathematics and it was used to organize biblical verses, such as the alphabetical arrangement of Genesis 1-2 and Proverbs 31. It was employed to explain the seasons and natural cycles and to make holistic good sense from biblical mysteries. It was used as a type of number magic. It was used to convey secret, confidential, or slightly impolite information and opinion, and sometimes to make jokes. But mostly it was used to praise God. Behold is the product of seven years of research into the methodologies and conventions of ancient scribes and the modern occultists who discovered the biblical secret. It is at once a teaching guide, a history, and an invaluable reference for the gematraist, cataloging all the calculating, mnemonic, and flag words used in the bible. Do you want to learn Gematria?

Focused on the myths and mythologies of European cultural history, this volume seeks to address the present and past functions of foundation texts in the evolution of the European idea. One of the specific objectives of this volume is to reconsider, in the context of ongoing European expansion and integration, the functionalist approach of Benedict Anderson, according to whom "imagined communities . . . are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined." The common denominator of each of the essays contained in this volume is the problem of the discontinuity of time in relation to tradition, cultural and individual memory, as well as in relation to historical and literary narratives. Time becomes "the locus of its own reflexivity: it is self-temporalized. It undergoes endless reiteration within itself, and needs a semantics which sets valid accents for specific moments." (Jean Bessiere)
