EMDEN, JACOB BEN ZEVI (YAVEZ). Sefat Emet u-Leshon Zehorit [polemical work and accusations against Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschuetz].
No place [Altona ?], no printer [the Author Private Press ?], 1752.
39 leaves (including one large folded leaf), title within simple typographical border, with many illustrations of the disputed amulets. 4to, 201 x 158 mm. (7 7/8 x 6¼ in.), contemporary leather backed boards, leather ties, spine ends and edges worn, very light staining. FIRST EDITION. Vinograd, Altona 52; Zedner 237 who remarks: "Probably written by a disciple of J.E. Annexed are several documents and letters, some of which are dated 1753"; Benjacob 1218; Y. Raphael, The works of R. Jacob Emden in Aresheth vol. III, pp. 254-256 nr.11; not in Steinschneider or Cowley.
Emden was regarded as one of the outstanding scholars of his generation. His main historical importance lies in his campaigns against the shabbateans to which he dedicated many years. In this work Emden published the content of several amulets which Eybeschuetz circulated in Metz and Hamburg. Emden interpreted the amulets rather convincingly as Shabbatean amulets. As a result of this publication, Emden was compelled to escape to Amsterdam for some time. (Enc. Judaica vol. 6, colms. 721-724).
