Sabbatai Zevi
Testimonies to a Fallen Messiah
David Halperin translates key primary sources on Sabbatai Zevi, including the memoir of Baruch of Arezzo, Nathan of Gaza's letters and other contemporary documents, with explanatory notes. This Littman Library volume lets readers encounter the Sabbatian movement directly, complementing Scholem's great biography with the voices of believers. Its introduction gives a compact history of the whole Sabbatian episode.
