520 |a The publication with commentary of a fragmentary letter dealing with some messianic manifestations and excitement in Sicily engendered a number of controversies a generation ago successfully clouding the potential value of this source for the study of East Mediterranean Jewish history in the Middle Ages. A reexamination of this document has elicited, through the identification of the place-name in the second part of the fragment, a connection with the Greece of the Frankish Crusaders. Further hints in the document allow for a suggested dating of the events to the mid thirteenth century. The discovery of a hitherto unknown Jewish community, Andravida, in the Frankish capital of Morea, has great significance for the history of thirteenth-century Greek Jewry. Further, the messianic excitement that stimulated East Mediterranean Jewry attending the onslaught of the Mongols has a bearing on the fascinating career of the peripatetic mystic Abraham Abulafia, whose arrival in Greece was nearly contemporary with the events related in this source.
