Manifiesto – a printed pamphlet on behalf of the sages of the Amsterdam Sephardi community, concerning the Sabbatean Nehemiah Chiya Hayyun. [Amsterdam, 1713]. Spanish. In this pamphlet, the Sephardi sages of Amsterdam report that they have examined the book Oz L'Elokim published by Nehemiah Hayyun (which contains the composition of Sabbatai Zevi – Raza D'Meheimanuta), and they have found it clear of Sabbatean doctrines. At that time, Hayyun was in the center of an acute polemic. Rabbi Zvi Ashkenazi, the Chacham Zvi, Rabbi of the Ashkenazi Amsterdam community, and Rabbi Moshe Chagiz, led a struggle against Hayyun, announced that he is a Sabbatean and banned him. On the other hand, the Sephardi community sages, headed by Rabbi Solomon Ayllón defended Hayyun and in this pamphlet they give a long explantion of their perspective of supporting him. As a result of this polemic which broke out between the Chacham Zvi and the Sephardi community, the Chacham Zvi was forced to leave the Amsterdam rabbinate. 12 pages. 23 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains, wear and tears to margins. New binding.

Two polemic books on matters pertaining to the Sabbatean doctrine and faith: · Kinat Hashem Tzevaot, explaining the sayings of Rashbi in the Zohar, which were mistakenly interpreted by the followers of Sabbatai Zevi. By Rabbi Moshe Chaim Lutzato – the Ramchal. [Konigsberg, 1862]. First edition. VIII, 32 pages. 16.5 cm. Good-fair condition, detached leaves, unbound. Tears and minor damages to text. · Netzach Yisrael, polemic article supporting Rabbi Eliezer Horowitz, Rabbi of Vienna, and Rabbi Isaac Noah Mannheimer – "About their testimony of the unity of the Jewish faith in our times and the manner of faith at the time of the coming of the Messiah", by Isaac Hirsh Weiss. Vienna, 1864. 21, [1] page. 20.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Wear, restored tear to title page margin. The background of this work is an article written by Tzvi Graetz, interpreting the prophecy of Isaiah, and denying the coming of the Messiah.

In his book Neshek Bar, Fuerth 1864, Rabbi Nissan Schidlow opposed this book. (See about this affair: Areshet, Issue 5, Jerusalem 1972, pp. 143-145; Kedem catalog, Auction 2, Item 149).
