http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Thus Bahya ben Asher ([in]1291) says of Rava [an early golem creator]: ???He was able to give his creature a motor soul, but not the rational soul which is the source of speech.??? This is in keeping with the view prevailing among the Kabbalists that speech is the highest of human faculties, or, to quote J.G. Hamann, the ???mother of reason and revelation.??? (Scholem 193)
