From Frankism to Jacobinism
In this audiobook, the world-renowned scholar of Jewish mysticism Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) describes the three extraordinary lives of Moses Dobrushka. Beginning his life as a Bohemian Jew in the antinomian cult of Sabbatean Frankism, Dobrushka first re-invented himself as the Catholic Austrian nobleman Franz Thomas von Schönfeld before abandoning this identity to become the Jacobin "Junius Frey." On the fifth of April 1794, Dobrushka met his fate at the guillotine alongside such luminaries of the French Revolution as Danton and Desmoulins. In the course of this biography, the author explains some critical historical links between revolutionary liberalism, Freemasonry, and Judaism.
