Pasigini
Pasigini or Pasagii, also called Circumcised or Sabbatati, was a medieval European sect that observed some Jewish practices.
According to [1] they thought that the law of Moses ought to be observed under the New Testament, with the exception of sacrifices. Thus, they practiced circumcision, abstained from the meats prohibited by Moses, and observed the sabbath like the Jews. They also denied the Trinity and taught that Christ was only the first and a spotless creature of God.
In reference to the Sabbath-keeping Pasigini, one scholar wrote:
The spread of heresy at this time is almost incredible. From Bulgaria to the Ebro, from Northern France to the Tiber, everywhere we meet them. Whole countries are infested, like Hungary and southern France; they abound in many other countries; in Germany, in Italy, in the Netherlands and even in England they put forth their efforts.[2]
