Notitia Karaeorum

By Mordecai Ben Nisan

Notitia Karaeorum, a historical and religious study, offers a detailed examination of the Karaites, a Jewish religious movement that originated in the early medieval period. Penned by Mordecai ben Nisan and meticulously edited by Johann Christoph Wolf and Jacobus Trigland, this work provides invaluable insights into the beliefs, practices, and historical context of Karaism.

This seminal work delves into the distinctive features of Karaite theology and jurisprudence, contrasting them with Rabbinic Judaism. Readers will discover the historical circumstances that led to the emergence and spread of Karaism, its interactions with other Jewish communities, and its unique contributions to Jewish thought. The book presents a rich tapestry of historical, theological, and cultural information, rendering it an indispensable resource for scholars and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this significant yet often overlooked movement within Judaism.
