Description |
|
Description of contemporary Jewish customs in Germany in the mid-18th century, faithfully and without prejudice. The work remains an important historical source for Jewish life in Germany for the period. The book is rich in engravings depicting subjects drawn from contemporary Jewish life in Germany. Some of these engravings were taken from B. Picart's Ceremonies et cobtumes religieuses de tous les peuples (1723–37), the majority were drawn for this edition.
Johann Christoph Georg Bodenschatz (1717–1797), German Protestant theologian. Born in Hof, Bavaria, Bodenschatz received his early education at Gera, where through his teacher Schleusner he became interested in biblical and oriental subjects, later studying oriental languages at the University of Jena. He entered the church, became vicar at Uttenreuth, and in 1780 superintendent at Baiersdorf.
