What it is

Propositions drawn from Latin, Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew sources, including the Kabbalah, offered for public disputation in Rome at the author's own expense.

Why it lasted

The first attempt to bring Jewish mystical texts into Christian theology, and the debate the pope shut down before it could begin.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
