Johann Nicolai was a 17th-century antiquities scholar who taught at the University of Tubingen. He studied a wide variety of topics, but none were more important than his contributions to Hebrew and Jewish tradition. In his book 'De Sepulchris Hebraeorum', Nicolai expertly describes the customs and manners of Jewish burial and funeral rites. This 1706 rare edition includes illustrated depictions of the burial processes as well as tombs and sepulchers used in the Jewish tradition.
