summary

An outgrowth of the shattering Emden-Eybescheutz polemical crises: An examination of the amulets produced by Jonathan Eyebescheutz said to contain distinct Sabbathian characteristics. By decree of the Council of Four Lands, this printed polemic (one of the most acrimonious against Eyebescheutz) 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

ff. 20. Few light stains in places. Modern boards. Sm. 4to
