'''''Sefer HaBahir''''' or '''''Bahir''''' (Hebrew: סֵפֶר הַבָּהִיר; "Book of Light" or "Book of Illumination") is an anonymous mystical [[grimoire]], attributed to a 1st-century rabbinic sage Nehunya ben HaKanah (a contemporary of Yochanan ben Zakai) because it begins with the words, "R. Nehunya ben HaKanah said". First mentioned in late 12th century Provencal works, the ''Bahir'' is an early work of esoteric [[Judaism|Jewish]] mysticism that eventually became known as [[Kabbalah]]. | '''''Sefer HaBahir''''' or '''''Bahir''''' (Hebrew: סֵפֶר הַבָּהִיר; "Book of Light" or "Book of Illumination") is an anonymous mystical [[grimoire]], attributed to a 1st-century rabbinic sage Nehunya ben HaKanah (a contemporary of Yochanan ben Zakai) because it begins with the words, "R.
