Description
Yitzhak Y. Melamed provides a rigorous examination of Jacob Sasportas, a seventeenth-century rabbi whose intellectual resistance to the Sabbatean movement defined his career. Through meticulous archival research, the text explores how Sasportas utilized skepticism and traditional rabbinic authority to challenge the messianic fervor that swept through Jewish communities of the era.
