Abraham ben Abraham

The history of Abraham ben Abraham, also known as Count Valentine (Valentin, Walentyn) Potocki (Pototzki or Pototski) is a controversial subject. According to traditional Jews of the time and since then, he is regarded as someone known even to the revered Jewish Talmudic sage known as the Vilna Gaon (Rabbi Elijah (Eliyahu) Ben Solomon Kremer (1720-1797)). On the other hand, secular historians have questioned its factual accuracy because they claim that no other corroborating evidence of Potocki's existence has yet been discovered, and some Polish and Lithuanian historians {{inote|see Tabzir and Moskal|Tabzir, Moskal}} think it likely that he did not exist.
