1696 1ed Rabbi MAIMONIDES Judaica Crenius Fasciculus Sextus Jewish Hebrew Rites Thomas Crenius's 'Fasciculus Sextus' is a collection of devotional works, written to shape and form one's spiritual life. Crenius includes studies on family building, equipping church officials, vices forbidden at the altar, and the approach to sacrifices. Very little is known of this book – a very rare, late 17th-century devotional published in Rotterdam. It should be noted that while the works are original to Crenius, he formed his writings based on the famous 12th-century Jewish rabbi and philosopher Moses Maimonides.Item number: #5423Price: $550CRENIUS, Thomas Fasciculus sextus opusculorum quae ad historiam ac philologiam sacram spectant : in quo continentur de cultu divino ex R.
