The “Universal History” is a mid-18th-century history of the world. Written by numerous authors and contributors, this enormous set included more than 60 distinct volumes over the course of 20 years. Initially, the work was designed to provide Western Europe with anecdotes and histories from lesser-known cultures and parts of the world.



This rare volume from the 1747 first edition focuses on the history of the Jews and Hebrew cultures from Bible times and the Biblical judges. This book provides context to the Old Testament stories, particularly those of the Babylonian captivity and the Egyptian captivity. This volume includes impressive, folding engravings including a map of Canaan and the Holy Land, view of the Israelite camp, the Bronze Laver, the Golden Candlestick (Menorah), Jewish priest costumes, and view of the Jewish tabernacle.



This volume also includes an appendix which outlines the rise of idolatry, witchcraft, and superstitions among the Jews.
