About Girona
Girona (Gerona), a city in Catalonia, Spain, was the seat of one of the earliest schools of Kabbalah in the thirteenth century. The Geronese circle, including Rabbi Ezra ben Solomon, Rabbi Azriel of Gerona, and Rabbi Jacob ben Sheshet, developed speculative Kabbalah from the teachings of Isaac the Blind, and the city was the birthplace of Nachmanides (Ramban), who absorbed and transmitted this mystical tradition. Much of the terminology of later Kabbalah was first formulated here.
