Pop star Madonna has bought Britney Spears a priceless 12th century Kabbalah book to celebrate her engagement to dancer Kevin Federline.
The singers are followers of the mystical offshoot of Judaism, so Spears in fascinated with the special bound edition of Zohar, also called the Book of Splendour, and travels everywhere with it.
"It paints a bigger picture than even the Bible. It's just so interesting to me because I've never read stuff like this before," Spears was quoted as saying.
A source close to Spears added: "Britney was delighted with the book. She has read it thoroughly and seems completely taken with it. Madonna has always looked out for Britney.
"When Britney was going through a tough time earlier this year, Madonna used Kabbalah teachings to help her through."
Spears, 22, may have problems grasping her gift. Orthodox rabbis have to study for 20 years before reading it and warn it's too complicated for anyone under 40 to understand.
