Luzzatto’s Attitude to Shabateanism
View through CrossRef
This chapter discloses the controversy over Rabbi Moses Hayim Luzzatto that agitated European Jewry from 1730 to 1736 and was dominated by the charge of Shabatean heresy brought against him. It mentions scholars who agreed that the allegation of a link between Luzzatto's activities and the Shabatean movement was malicious or mistaken. It also explores the personality of Luzzatto and the history of the Shabatean movement and its offshoots. The chapter looks at the first letter dated 9 Heshvan 5490 in which R. Moses Hagiz brought his accusations against Luzzatto. It cites R. Isaiah Bassano's letter to the rabbis of Venice, which shows that the suspicion of Shabateanism was raised from the start to motivate the witchhunt.
