Early Life and Education

Abraham Abulafia was born in Zaragoza, Spain, to a Jewish family.

At a young age, his parents relocated to Tudela, Navarre, where his father taught him the intricacies of Jewish scripture and the Talmud.

Wanderlust and Pilgrimage

Following his father's death in 1258, Abulafia embarked on a lifelong journey, first to the Land of Israel, hoping to find the legendary River Sambation and the lost Ten Lost Tribes.

However, he only reached Acre, as the area had become hazardous due to the recent Crusades.

He then set out for Rome but stopped in Capua, where he delved into philosophy and Maimonides' "Guide for the Perplexed" under the guidance of Hillel, a philosopher and physician.
