First Edition. ff. (6), 5-181. Lightly stained. Contemporary vellum, rubbed. 4to. Vinograd, Const. 360.
Constantinople, Abraham Franco, 1688 (1683).
The Chief Rabbi of Izmir, Algazi (1610-83) was an outspoken opponent of the pseudo-Messiah Shabthai Zevi. At the height of Zevi's power, Algazi was forced to flee his own city. He thereafter settled in Jerusalem. See G. Scholem, Sabbatai Sevi, p. 414.
