[Cérémonies et costumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde]. (Ceremonies and religious customs from people around the world). By Bernard Picart. French.
Pages 63-92 as well as 20 engraving, most probably taken from the first volume of the comprehensive series of books depicting religious customs around the world, by Bernard Picart. The first volume concerns Jewish and Catholic customs, and the chapter discussing Jewish customs, as well as 20 engravings depicting Jewish customs, were removed from the book and bound separately. Engravings feature in much detail different Jewish customs and traditions such as Tefilin, prayer in Synagogue, Pesach, wedding ceremony, circumcision ceremony and Simchat Torah, and in addition many religious objects: mezuzah, shofar, talit and more.
63-92 pp + [20] engravings, 33 cm. Good condition.
