Abstract
The first part of Hillel Zeitlin's (1871-1942) mystical diary appeared in print in Warsaw in 1919. Zeitlin continued to write the diary until the European Holocaust, and the manuscript is presumed lost. In this paper, I will attempt to reconstruct the content of the lost part of the diary on the basis of the manuscript correspondence between Zeitlin and other authors. I will also discuss Zeitlin's unsuccessful attempts to have his diary published. In this discussion, mystical aspects of Zeitlin's work will be revealed.
