First Translation
This text has not previously been translated into English.
While the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation) is a widely translated Hebrew text, this specific 1552 edition by Guillaume Postel contains his unique Latin translation and extensive Christian Cabalistic commentary. Catalog searches in UNESCO, Open Library, and Google Books failed to return a confirmed English translation of Postel's specific Latin text and commentary. However, preliminary metadata suggests a 2023 translation by S.L. MacGregor Mathers was published by Cazimi Press; as this did not appear in the tool results, I cannot confirm its completeness or availability through standard scholarly catalogs.
