Time and History as renewed mythology in the Sefer ha-Qabbalah
Abstract
The Sefer ha-Qabbalah, the Book of Tradition of Abraham ibn Daud is a Sephardic chronicle of the fundamental milestones in the history of the Jewish people. Ibn Daud's study is a historiography where chronology has as its reference a field of broad magnitude and transcendence: its soteriological significance. The historian, Ibn Daud, hosts in his chronicle a set of mythologemes that turn history into an updated mythology and the future into hope. Our purpose in this paper is to reflect Ibn Daud's emphasis on showing Sefarad as a myth and as a pre-future stage whose fulfillment that very myth makes it close.
