Description
Letter from the French rabbi Shemuel b. Yaʿaqov. Dating: Early 13th century. In Hebrew. Concerning a communal dispute against a leader who wished to reverse a ban of excommunication, but the notables of the city assembled and opposed this. The sender was the main opponent and made money off of the outcome. His friends were incensed and avoided him. (Information from Goitein's index card and from Friedman's article.) NB: This letter was published by Jacob Barnai, who incorrectly believed it was connected to Shabbetay Sevi.
