The Sabbateans (or Sabbatians) were a variety of Jewish followers, disciples, and believers in Sabbatai Zevi (1626–1676),[1][2][3] a Sephardic Jewish rabbi and Kabbalist who was proclaimed to be the Jewish Messiah in 1666 by Nathan of Gaza.[1][2] Vast numbers of Jews in the Jewish diaspora accepted his claims, even after he outwardly became an apostate due to his forced conversion to Islam in the same year.[1][2][3] Sabbatai Zevi’s followers, both during his “Messiahship” and after his forced conversion to Islam, are known as Sabbateans.[1][3] Part of the Sabbateans lived on until well into 21st-century Turkey as descendants of the Dönmeh.[1]

In Jewish history, many Jews after Sabbatai Zevi’s feigned apostasy, although horrified, clung to the belief that Zevi could still be regarded as the true Jewish Messiah.[1][2][3][4] They constituted the largest number of Sabbateans during the 17th and 18th centuries. By the 19th century, Jewish Sabbateans had been reduced to small groups of hidden followers who feared being discovered for their beliefs, that were deemed to be entirely heretical and antithetical to Rabbinic Judaism. These very Jews fell under the category of “sectarian” Sabbateans, which originated when many Sabbateans refused to accept that Zevi’s feigned apostasy might have been indicative of the fact that their faith was genuinely an illusion.[4]

Another large group of Sabbateans succeeding Zevi’s feigned apostasy began to view Islam in an extremely negative light.[5] Polemics against Islam erupted directly after Zevi’s forced conversion. Some of these attacks were considered part of a largely anti-Sabbatean agenda.[5] Accusations coming from anti-Sabbatean Jews revolved around the idea that Sabbatai Zevi’s feigned conversion to Islam was rightfully an indicator of a false claim of Messianship.[5]
