Shabbetai Tzvi, May the Name of the Wicked Rot, C. 1670

Original etching of Shabtai Tzvi, many the name of the wicked rot.
His image is towards the right and within an artistic frame. Written in French at the bottom of the etching:
Le Vray Portraiet de Sabetha Sebi Roy des Juifs né en la ville de Smirne en Asie aagé de 40 Ans
Free translation: Image of Shabbetai Tzvi, rabbi of the Jews of Samerin, 40 years old.
There is an identical engraving at the British Museum numbered O, 2.134. (Refer to an additional etching from the same series in the next lot.)
[1] leaf high-quality paper. 27x19 cm. The etching itself is 161x228 mm.
Very fine condition.

The figure of Shabbetai Tzvi was etched in the national consciousness of the Jewish people as the leading false Messiah. This fact is mainly due to the enormous scope of the Sabbatean movement that encompassed the entire Jewish world, and to the many years that lasted until it was forgotten by the people and their were no more believers.
