| Summary: | Shiltei ha-gibborim is an encyclopaedic work in Hebrew by Abraham ben Davici Portaleone (1542 - 1612). Included in the central theme of the description of Solomon's temple and the liturgical service are scientific and profane subjects. Related co the theatra mundi, the work originates in the meeting of Lullyian medieval mnemotechnical theories with Hermetic Cabbalistic thought. Solomon’s temple acquires a metaphysical meaning: the tempus sapientiae takes the place of the theatrum mondi. Portaleone gives extensive treatment to the socio-political and military structure of the Ancient State of Israel. The general tone and structure of the exposition are typically those of the literature of the time. In the exemplary nature of the past (the classical, but also biblical past), Portaleone seeks the birth and the formation of perfect government. The citing of the Torah as supreme divine law, which even the authority of the sovereign has to bow before, is in harmony with contemporary political theories, as formulated mainly by the Jesuits. The Counter-Reformation tended to bring the running of the state and the power of the monarch within the boundaries of the moral principles of the Catholic tradition. |
