According to Gershom Scholem, ‘curtains hanging before the celestial realms of
the worlds of the aeons play an important rôle in the Gnostic Pistis Sophia,
apparently as a result of Jewish influence’. The succession of curtains is related
to that of cloaks or veils, or even elements of dress and adornment, as they appear
in the Mesapotamic poem of Ishtar’s Descent into Hell. The action of parting
curtains, rending veils or clothing, stripping off diadems, cloaks or bracelets,
signifies a move towards an arcanum or the penetration of a mystery. Scholem, in
Les Origines de la Kabbale, says that, among the emanations, similar curtains
appear personified in the fountains of Isaac Cohen.
