A literary forger and sometime scholar, this was Friedlander’s most audacious publication based on the fictitious discovery of a “13th century Spanish” manuscript containing the long-lost Jerusalem Talmud on the Order of Kodashim. Although initially greeted with great enthusiasm, doubts soon arose as to the authenticity of the work.
