  • Description: Ilanot (trees, sg. ilan) are a unique iconotextual genre, artifacts constituted by the wedding of parchment and the arboreal schema that represents the kabbalistically-construed divine world. Produced by kabbalists since the fourteenth century, they have been primarily used for study, performative contemplation and talismanic practices. Medieval and Renaissance ilanot visualize and introduce the sefirotic network; early modern Lurianic rolls present cosmogonic time-lines. Beginning in the nineteenth century, ilanot were increasingly produced to serve as apotropaic amulets.
