FIRST EDITION. Two volumes bound in one. Three curious engraved plates

Roblik, a Moravian cleric who eventually forsook the priesthood, attempted to dissuade the Jews from their false beliefs through force of argument.

This work is hence symbolically titled “Jewish Eyeglasses,” and a large pair of eyeglasses is illustrated as the frontispiece
