Johannis Nicolai Antiq. Prof. in Academ. Tubing. Libri IV. De Sepulchris Hebraeorum: In Quibus Variorum populorum mores proponuntur multa obscura loca enucleantur, usus approbantur & abusus rejiciuntur, genuina Hebraeorum Sepulcrorum forma ostenditur, illorumque ritus in illis exhibentur Et Figuris Aeneis Illustrantur
Johann Nicolai, professor of antiquities at Tübingen Academy, published this Latin treatise in 1706 on Hebrew burial places, drawing on the customs of many peoples for an scholarly readership. Its copper-engraved plates show tomb interiors and cut-rock sepulchres in sectional perspective, with small figures and ruined landscapes that give scale and a rough, antique atmosphere useful for historical or archaeological designs.
