The author of the Legend of Sir Otvain, though a
zealous catholic, has embraced, in the fullest extent,
the Talmutlic doctrine of an earthly paradise, distinct
from the celestial abode of the just, and serving as a
place of initiation, preparatory to perfect bliss, and to
the beatific vision. — See the Rabbi Menasse ben Israel,
in a treatise called Nishmalh Chajim, i. e. The Breath of
Life.
