Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. David Reubeni (1490–1535/1541?) was a Jewish political activist, described by the Shengold Jewish Encyclopedia as "half-mystic, half-adventurer." The mysteries of ha-Reubeni's origins are manifold, and have not been solved to this day. Reubeni stated that he was born around 1490 in a place referred to variously as Hobur or Khaibar, which was subsequently identified with a place of a similar name in central Arabia. He related that he had been sent by his brother, King Joseph, who ruled the kingdom with 70 elders, who was seeking alliances against the Turks conquering the area for its great wealth. Another version is that his true origin was at a port called Cranganore, along the Malabar Coast of India, where a large and well-organized Jewish community had lived for many centuries.
