Ra'anan S. Boustan traces the historical emergence of the specific form of "mystical" discourse found in Heikhalot Rabbati. He argues that the creators of Heikhalot Rabbati sought to fashion a myth of origins for their distinctive brand of heavenly ascent practice by radically reworking the post-talmudic martyrology The Story of the Ten Martyrs.
