summary
In an attempt at the depoliticization of research in the field of Jewish mysticism the authors devote their attention to the community of Prague Frankish families, which they investigate as a new religious movement and present a theological and religionist analysis of it. The introductory chapter is devoted to the history of Prague Frankism and the current state of research, while the second chapter provides extensive translations of the source literature, which are consequently analysed in the third chapter in the form of thematic areas. The concluding chapter presents a new methodology the use of which will lessen the politicization of Judaic discourse in the field of Jewsih mysticism and contribute to the creation of a more precise portrayal of the spirituality of its representatives.
