註釋

Bodenschatz (1717-1797), a Southern German Protestant minister and orientalist, made the sociological study of Judaism his speciality. His present work about the "ecclesiastical constitution of the German Jews" is an important presentation of the customs and life of the Jews for the Christian public. He provides without prejudice or apology historical documentation on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Jewish life. Well versed in Oriental languages and in the lore of the ancient Hebrews, the author describes contemporary Jewish customs and ceremonies and includes some details not often found in works by Jews themselves. The book is rich in engravings, some taken from Picart's Cérémonies et coûtumes religieuses de tous les peoples (1723-37). They illustrate the holidays, Shabbes observance, life cycle rituals, and ritual objects. (Source: JE).
