Jacob Frank's imprisonment in Częstochowa has lasted…
1772 CE
Many Frankists have established themselves near Częstochowa, and kept up constant communication with their "holy master"
Frank has inspired his followers through mystical speeches and epistles, in which he states that salvation can be gained only through the "religion of Edom," or dat ("law"), a mixture of Christian and Sabbateanism
Frank is released, after the first partition of Poland, by the Russian general Aleksandr Bibikov, who had occupied Częstochowa in August 1772.
