6 nn. Bl., 226 (1) S., 13 nn. Bl. Register u. Erklärung der Kupfer. Mit zahlr. mst. ganzs. s/w-Abb. (Kupferstiche). Gr.-8°; Orig. illustr. Pappbd. - Reprint der Originalausgabe von 1734 nach dem Exemplar der Sächischen Landesbibliothek. Originaltitel: Jüdisches Ceremoniel, oder Beschreibung dererjenigen Gebräuche, welche die Jüden sowol inn- als ausser dem Tempel, bey allen und jeden Fest-Tägen, im Gebet, bey der Beschneidung, bey Hochzeiten, Auslösung der Erst-Geburt, im Sterben, bey der Begräbnüß und dergleichen, in acht zu nehmen pflegen. Nunmehro aber bey dieser neuen Auflage mit accuraten Kupfern versehen; Nicht weniger aus den besten Scribenten so wol, als aus Erzehlung glaubwürdiger Personen und selbst eigener Erfahrung, um vieles vermehret und mit Anmerkungen erläutert von Sebastian Jacob Jungendres. - "Innerhalb der älteren jüdischen Literatur nimmt diese Edition eine hervorragende Stellung ein. Einerseits dient sie der Entmystifizierung der scheinbar so geheimnisumwitterten jüdisch-religiösen Gebote und Zeremonien. Andererseits werden die überlieferten Gebräuche und Sitten am Wortlaut des Alten Testaments überprüft." (Verlagstext) - "Paul Christian Kirchner first published Jüdisches Ceremoniel in 1717, following his 1709 conversion from Judaism to Christianity. The foreword announced his intention to convince other Jews to follow his example. In 1724, the amateur Hebraist Sebastian Jugendres collaborated on a new edition of Jüdisches Ceremoniel. Jugendres corrected, refined, and softened Kirchner`s language, spelling, grammar, and scornful tone. This new annotated version included a new foreword and a series of copperplate engravings depicting Jewish customs and rituals. Jüdisches Ceremoniel epitomizes the necessary cooperation between converted Jews and Christian Hebraists. While former Jews possessed first-hand knowledge of Jewish beliefs, customs, and language; the Hebraists often had a more extensive education. And, as with other early works on Judaism, the images in Jüdisches Ceremoniel have substantial documentary value, even when the text is critical of Judaism." (Aus: The University of Chicago Library, Early Books on Judaism) - Sehr gut erhalten.

Mit gestochenem Frontispiz und 23 Kupfertafeln. Titel in Schwarz und Rot gedruckt. 8°. Roter Halbschweinslederband der Zeit über 5 bünden mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel und Marmorpapiervorsätzen. gering berieben, Bezüge teils etwas beschabt. der reich illustrierten Wappenkunde, ein Handbuch zur Einführung in die Heraldik, das auch heute noch von unschätzbarem didaktischen Wert ist, zumal es konkret dazu beitragen kann, zahlreiche, heute weitgehend unbekannte Zusammenhänge zu erläutern. "Das Werk ist vornehmlich 'für die noch zarte Jugend' (Vorbericht) bestimmt, die den Antworten beigegebenen Anmerkungen sind dagegen für diejenigen gedacht, die 'bereits ein Judicium discretivum besitzen'." (HKJL II, 469). Das Frontispiz zeigt den Magister cum Discipulis, eine Lehrer in Alonge-Perücke, der seinen drei Schülern die Wappenschilder in einer Sala Terrena eines Barockschlosses erklärt. Die Tafeln mit jeweils zahlreiche Wappendarstellungen in mehreren Registern untereinander und eine ganzseiteige Wappentafel (numeriert von I-X und I-XIII). Einige Tafeln oben und am Rand etwas knapp beschnitten (teils minimal über die Ränder), sonst völlig frisch und durchgehend sauber und rein, sehr schönes Exemplar in ausgefallenem zeitgenössischen Einband: gebunden in himbeerrot gefärbtes festes Schweinsle.

4to. (10), 226, (26) pp. Title page printed in red and black. With engraved frontispiece (J. G. Puschner del et sc.), engr. separate double-page-sized title, and 28 double-page-sized engraved plates. Contemporary half vellum with ms. spine title; all edges coloured blue. A later edition of Kirchner's important manual of Jewish ceremonies and rites, first published in Jauer in 1716 (while Jungendres's expanded and well-illustrated edition first appeared in 1724). The plates show Rosh Chodesh, the Sabbath, Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Chanukkah, Purim, circumcision, engagement, marriage, divorce, burial, etc., as well as liturgical objects, costumes, and rooms. The Polish-born Kirchner had been a rabbi in Fürth before converting to Protestantism in 1713, giving up his birth name Gumpel Mardochai (though Jungendres's preface suggests that he later returned to his old faith). Many of his descriptions are representative of the stricter Polish rites, rather than those observed by the more lenient German community. The engravings by the Nuremberg artist Johann Georg Puschner (commissioned by Jungendres) depict scenes from the Jewish congregation and synagogue of Fürth. "Today most libraries offer merely the reprint published in 1974. This reproduces the Erlangen University Library's copy of an edition of which the exact year of printing is not known, as it is not fully printed, reading only '173.'. Thus, it is only known that another edition was produced in the 1730s - likely in 1730, and certainly in 1735" (cf. Herzig, p. 19). In the present copy, the year of printing has been completed by a contemporary hand to read "1739". Binding somewhat rubbed and stained; old library shelfmarks to flyleaf. Altogether a good, fairly wide-margined copy. - A. Herzig, Das Interesse am Judentum zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts: Paul Christian Kirchners 'Jüdisches Ceremoniel', in: Ashkenas 20 (2010), pp. 1-20.
