Der Jüden Glaube und Aberglaube [The Jewish Faith and Superstitions], by Friedrich Albrecht Christiani. Second edition. An anti-Semitic work on Jews and Judaism, accompanied by an engraved title page and eight engraved plates depicting Jewish costumes, ritual artifacts and customs. Friedrich Albrecht Christiani was born in 1647 as Baruch to a Jewish family from Prostitz in Moravia (today Prostějov in the Czech Republic). In his youth he served as a cantor in Bruchsal. In 1674, he converted into Christianity and moved to Leipzig, where he served for twenty years as chair of the Leipzig university department for Semitic studies and published several compositions about the Jews and their customs. Shortly before 1700 he returned to his birth town, Prostitz, and to Judaism. [1] title page, 88, 186, [10] pp. [9] engraved plates.
