The Bahir is one of the oldest and most important of all classical Kabbalah texts. Until the publication of the Zohar, the Bahir was the most influential and widely quoted primary source of Kabbalistic teachings. It is quoted in every major book on Kabbalah, the earliest being the Raavad's commentary on Sefer Yetsirah, and it is cited numerous times by Rabbe Moshe Ben Nachman (Ramban) in his commentary on the Torah. It is also quoted many times in the Zohar. It was first published in 1176 by the Provence school of Kabbalists; the first printed edition appeared in Amsterdam in 1651.
