summary

Rare. “A single copy in the library of G. Scholem” (see G. Scholem, Sabatai Sevi, p. 478). The liturgy is different than the traditional version. According to Scholem, this tract follows the order instituted by Shabthai Tzvi’s prophet, Nathan of Gaza. For the Sabbatians would no longer utilize the standard version of the liturgy, as in their opinion, upon the ascendancy of Shabthtai Tzvi, the Shechina was no longer in exil
