Amsterdam: David de Castro Tartas 1668

Est: $700 - $1,000

An early adherant of Shabbetai Tzvi, Tartas printed the majority of the messianic prayer-books. This was his first published work, following a year of inactivity and depression, in the wake of Amsterdam’s turmoil when expectations for the Sabbathian Redemption were dashed.
