Treatise on the exterior, interior and ritual objects of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. The name ‘Templo’ was added to the author’s surname on account of the celebrated copper engravings of Solomon’s Temple that Jacob Judah Leon prepared for his scarce work, Retrato del Templo de Selomoh (1642).
