( ) NO OF PAGES: 1000 SUB CAT I: False Messiahs SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Messianic longing and expectation, always rife throughout Jewish history, have often found expression in movements prompted by messianic pretenders, forerunners, or prophets. These manifestations have generally been of short duration and of merely local significance. The only messianic movement to engulf the whole of Jewry-from England to Persia, from Germany to Morocco, from Poland to the Yemen-was that aroused by a young kabbalist rabbi from Smyrna, the "messiah" Sabbatai Sevi, and his prophet, Nathan of Gaza, in 1666. Professor Scholem's detailed and authoritative account of the Sabbatian movement from its inception to the founder's death not only illuminates an extraordinary phenomenon in Jewish history but is a major contribution to the general study of messianic movements and their theologies.NOTES: Donated by David Daniels.

Gershom Scholem stands out among modern thinkers for the richness and power of his historical imagination. A work widely esteemed as his magnum opus, Sabbatai ?evi offers a vividly detailed account of the only messianic movement ever to engulf the entire Jewish world. Sabbatai ?evi was an obscure kabbalist rabbi of seventeenth-century Turkey who aroused a fervent following that spread over the Jewish world after he declared himself to be the Messiah. The movement suffered a severe blow when ?evi was forced to convert to Islam, but a clandestine sect survived. A monumental and revisionary work of Jewish historiography, Sabbatai ?evi details ?evi's rise to prominence and stands out for its combination of philological and empirical authority and passion. This edition contains a new introduction by Yaacob Dweck that explains the scholarly importance of Scholem's work to a new generation of readers. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
