It includes the series "Forschungen auf dem Gebiete der Hebräisch-Aegyptischen Archäologie", which in itself is divided into three parts: "Zur Geschichte der Buchstabenschrift in besonderer Beziehung auf Hebräer, Phönicier, Griechen und Aegypter" (1838), and includes a lithographic plate featuring early examples of early alphabetic scripts; "Zur Kritik Manetho`s nebst einer Beilage: Hermapions Obelisken-Inschrift" (1851); and "Manethonischen Hyksos" (1851). Also included is the second edition of Saalschütz`s seminal work on Biblical poetics, "Form und Geist der biblisch-hebräischen Poesie" (I. Strophenbau und Versrhythmus / II. Charakter und Inhalt / III. Naturanschauung und Naturpoesie). Finally, this book features a study of traditional laws relating to Synagogues by a Moravian rabbi Moritz Duschak: "Umriss des biblisch-talmudischen Synagogenrechts mit Rücksicht auf die jetzige Stellung der österreichischen Juden". 225x140mm.
