<<ITALIAN EXPLORER LAMBERTO LORIA’S BAR MITZVAH PRAYER BOOK.>>
A delightful miniature prayer-book, beautifully bound with silver cartouches on each cover, presented on the occasion of the Bar Mitzvah of Isacco Lamberto Loria (1855-1913).
Born in Alexandria, Egypt, of an Italian-Jewish father and Egyptian-Jewish mother, Lamberto Loria made long exploratory trips to the far-reaches of the globe, from Eritrea to Turkmenistan, indeed he spent seven years living in New Guinea. Back in Italy, Loria focused upon ethnology and founded Florence’s Museum of Ethnography whose holdings today form the core collection of Rome’s Museo nazionale delle arti e tradizioni popolari (MAT).
