About this person
Contemporary anti-Sabbatean sources declared his death a miracle, and claimed that at this time a plague broke out, and that the local priests dug up Dembowski's body and cut off the head as if he were a sorcerer; but the plague did not end until his body was burned in the same place where the sacred books had been burned.
