summary

An outgrowth of the shattering Emden-Eybescheutz polemical crises: An examination of the amulets produced by Jonathan Eyebescheutz said to contain distinct Shabbathian characteristics. By decree of the Council of Four Lands, this printed polemic was banned and almost all copies were incinerated upon publication. See Carmilly-Weinberger, pp. 86-92; and M. J. Cohen, Jacob Emden: A Man of Controversy (1937) p. 221.
