Who they are
Paweł Maciejko, a Polish-Israeli historian and professor of Jewish history, the leading academic authority on Jacob Frank and Frankism.
What they do
His work anchors the study of the antinomian Frankist movement as documented academic history, not fringe speculation.
How it works
He wrote The Mixed Multitude: Jacob Frank and the Frankist Movement (2011, University of Pennsylvania Press), continuing Gershom Scholem's Sabbatean scholarship into the later Frankist transmission.
Why it matters
The desc uses him, alongside Scholem, to show this historical chain rests on tier-1 academic history rather than conspiracy claims.
