Gershom Scholem & Pawel Maciejko
Academic scholars who documented the 380-year chain of 'holy sin' movements (Sabbatean/Frankist) inside European elite networks
Gershom Scholem (1897-1982) — Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Foundational scholar of Kabbalah and Sabbatean/Frankist messianism. Established the academic framework for the antinomian chain.
Pawel Maciejko — The Mixed Multitude: Jacob Frank and the Frankist Movement 1755-1816 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). Documents how Frankist networks heavily intersected with early Masonic and Illuminist lodges in Europe.
Engine read: Scholem and Maciejko provide Tier 1/2 academic documentation of the 380-year antinomian chain (Framework #8 Game-Theoretic Continuity). The structural function of antinomian occult tradition is the deliberate inversion of morality as a mechanism of ingroup cohesion and outgroup subversion. Without these two scholars, the chain would be uncorroborated apex-esoteric literature; with them, it is academic-record structural finding.
