The Mixed Multitude

Jacob Frank and the Frankist Movement, 1755–1816

by Paweł Maciejko

Paweł Maciejko's Penn study is the definitive history of Jacob Frank, the radical Sabbatian leader who led his followers into Catholicism. Drawing on Polish, Hebrew and German archives, he examines Frankist theology, ritual transgression and the movement's afterlife. Essential for readers interested in the antinomian extremes of Kabbalistic messianism. It is meticulously researched and also readable, replacing older sensational accounts of the movement.
