| ENT_JM_GOLEM | SRC_SCHOLEM_KABBALAH | scholarly attestation | An anthropoid of clay animated through the ritual permutation of Hebrew letters and divine names (the word emet/'truth'); Scholem traces the motif from Sefer Yetsirah speculation to the medieval Hasidei Ashkenaz and the later Prague-Maharal legend. |
