Description
Bodenschatz, Georg Johann Christoph. KIRCHLICHE VERFASSUNG DER HEUTIGEN JUDEN, SONDERLICH DERER IN DEUTSCHLAND. Frankfurt and Leipzig: 1748-1749. 4to. [16], 206, 386; [16], 256, 270, [36] pp. + engraved title frontis and 29 plates (1 folding.) Period full vellum over boards, title label chipped, vellum toned/soiled and with some chips. Dedication leaf cropped at upper margin, mild age-toning and occasional light foxing, else Very Good. ******************** FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS ON GERMAN JEWISH LIFE PRIOR TO THE EMANCIPATION, based on the author's first-hand observations. "Because of its objectivity, it is a significant source for the ceremonial practices of the German Jews" -- (Frederick Hauck, "Neue Deutsche Biographie.") Of the plates, Israel Abrahams (in his "By-Paths in Hebraic Bookland," 1920) remarks, "Bodenschatz does not show these things to ridicule. He is among the most objective of those who, before our own days, sought to reproduce synagogue scenes."
