Quotes:Fons Yitae

H. P. Blavatsky

Fons Yitae. A work of Ibn Gehirol, the Arabian Jewish philosopher of the Xlth century, who called it Me‐ gôr Hayyûn or the “Fountain of Life” (De Materia Universali and Fons Vitæ). The Western Kabbalists have proclaimed it a really Kabbalistic work. Several MSS.,Latin and Hebrew, of this wonderful production have been discovered by scholars in public libraries; among others one by Munk, in 1802. The Latin name of Ibn Gebirol was Avicebron, a name well‐known to all Oriental scholars.
