A 1728 review of a controversial Sabbatian text.

Here's a 1728 review of the Sabbatian מהימנותא דכלא published with commentaries by Nehemia Hiya Hayon. The review if from the quarterly Bibliothèque raisonnée des ouvrages des savans de l'Europe.



Hayon is a major character in a recently published book Midnight Intruders by Avner Gold, part of a historical fiction series for children, which I intend to review soon.

  1. Thank you for posting this. I study Sabbatianism. You did not put up the interesting part of the review when they start talking about the rabbinic bans.

  3. That's for the review post (although it's not so exciting anymore, since he's now open about it).
