ABSTRACT
The following legends, chosen at random from amongst a vast quantity of details scattered throughout the Zohar, have been inserted with the idea of acquainting the reader with some of those whom the Zohar mentions as being closest to the Master during his lifetime and who helped to spread the doctrine of his teachings after his death. Through the eyes of his disciples we see the Master like a reflection thrown back by a many-faceted crystal of variations of the same colour. In their veneration and exaltation of him we see the reflection of his personal appreciation of his own merit, in which the disciples evidently believed with as passionate and as sincere a faith as in his teachings.
