Explication of an Engraving Called the Origin of the Rites and Worship of the Hebrews - Kabbalah - New-York, 1861.
Explication of an Engraving Called the Origin of the Rites and Worship of the Hebrews - Kabbalah - New-York, 1861
Explication of an Engraving Called the Origin of the Rites and Worship of the Hebrews, Together with Remarks on Creation, and a Brief Account of some Observances and their Symbolical Signification. "From the original French of D. Rosenberg, of Paris. With additional remarks and investigations, notes and diagrams, by Max Wolff". New-York: Printed At the Office Of The "jewish Messenger", 1861. English. Additional title page in Hebrew.
In 1851 a lithograph was published in France - "Origin of the Rites and Worship of the Hebrews". The lithograph, published by Dr. D. Rosenberg of Paris, was to a large extent based on "Sefer Yetzira" and included many Kabbalistic motifs. Considering the complexity of the images integrated into the lithograph, a book was published concurrently explaining the images and their Kabbalistic sources. Presented is an English translation of that book, by Max Wolff (1839-1884), cantor and rabbi in "Ohavei Shalom" congregation in Boston.
The book is accompanied by an illustration - Table of the Ten Kabbalistic Spheres - and Hebrew poems by Wolff. This is the first book with original Hebrew poetry printed in the USA.
