summary

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.

ff. 150. Lightly browned, damp-stains on first few leaves. Later mottled-calf boards, rebacked. Sm. 4to
