Gershom Scholem published many studies in the field of Jewish mysticism. In the 1930s, his scholarship turned to an obscure rabbi of seventeenth-century, Sabbatai Sevi, who aroused a fervent following that spread over the Jewish world after he declared himself to be the Messiah. This work presents an account of this messianic movement.
