Esh Dat, "Zeal of G-d… [attacking] Nechemia Chiyya Hayyun, who transgresses, undermines and uproots the tenets of our Torah", by R. David Nieto. London: Thomas Ilive, 1715. Only edition. Hebrew part only.
A polemic book comprising several "debates" against the works of the Sabbatean Nechemia Hayyun – Oz Lelohim (Berlin 1713), Raza DeYichuda (Venice 1711) and Shalhevetya (Amsterdam 1719).
R. David Nieto (1654-1728), brilliant in Torah and in science. Dayan, preacher and physician in Livorno, and later the first rabbi to the Sephardi community in London. Author of Kuzari II and Mateh Dan. One of the strongest opponents of Sabbateanism.
Nechemia Chiyya Hayyun (1655-ca. 1730), a Sabbatean sage and kabbalist, one of the leaders of Sabbateanism after Sabbatai Zevi's death.
Handwritten corrections on pp. 1b and 37a (possibly handwritten by the author).
This copy belonged to R. Nachum Dov Ber of Sadigura. Two of his stamps appear on the title page: "Nachum Dov Ber Friedman" and "Kinyan Kaspi".
R. Nachum Dov Ber Friedman of Sadigura (1843/1844-1883), grandson of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. He was the son of Rebbe Shalom Yosef and son-in-law of his uncle Rebbe Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura. R. Nachum Dov Ber was known as a prominent collector of ancient books and manuscripts (see: David Assaf, Derech HaMalchut, p. 454, note 34). R. Yehuda Leibush Landau Rabbi of Sadigura describes him and his notable library in the preface to his book Yad Yehuda on Yoreh De'ah: "When I came to Sadigura, I found what I love in the home of my relative, of distinguished lineage, R. Nachum Dov, who owns a collection of valuable books from early authors, which is unrivaled in glory and splendor". R. Nachum Dov used several types of stamps in his library. Books inherited from his father were stamped "Nachalat Avotai" (family inheritance), books he purchased were stamped "Kinyan Kaspi" (my acquisition), and books he received as a gift were stamped "Minchat Shai" (a gift).
Stamps on title page and several other leaves: "Matityahu Eckstein – Czernowitz".
