Was Leibele Prossnitz a Charlatan?
Original language description
The paper examines the career of the Sabbatian Leibele Prossnitz through the lens of the co ncept of charlatan, making use of an article by Paweł Maciejk o where he expounds the concept to describe the fortune of Wolf Eibeschütz. The fate of both, Leibele Prossnitz and Wolf Eibeschütz, are very similar at first glance. However, one aspect of Leibele's life, namely his epilepsy, changes matters decisively. Thus, the concept of charlatan is not suitable for an analysis of Leibele's career and indeed is completely misguiding. This implies that the concept of charlatan cannot replace in general the oxymoron 'false Messiah' that is firmly established in scholarship.
