I read that the name "di-carnosa" (Fleshy God) and other names and prayer texts derive from Shabbatay Tzvi Sect influence in Sephardic Liturgy. I couldn't find a compiled and organised source for these add-ons.

In my experience I've found many such "paradoxal" additions and today I found that I was actually correct regarding the strange aspect of the prayers etc.

Does anybody actually have a list of all these texts etc? Better if in an academic format, I may write about it sometime in the future.

    The origin of that particular Holy Name is the subject of a three-way machlochet (completely Kosher origin/taken from a Jew forced to convert to Catholicism/Shabbati Tsvi sect) and I suspect that any such list would also be full of similar ambiguities

There is no consensus as to who added DiKarnosa, but most importantly is this error's deletion from our Mahzorim.

Some Sephardic liturgies, such as the Spanish-Portuguese and select Vienna editions of the Turkish rite delete it.

  • This doesn't really answer the question- and how do you know it's an error?
