summary

Though suspected of Sabbatian leanings, the Chemdath HaYamim became a favorite within the Sephardic literary world and no warnings of the anti-Sabbatian R. Jacob Emden could wean Sephardic Jewry away from this literary masterpiece. Chemdath Yamim first appeared in Izmir in 1732 and then Constantinople in 1735. The present third edition is the most sumptuous. See I. Zinberg, A History of Jewish Literature, Vol.V (1974), pp. 151-160
