Notes: Chap. 13 contains a section about Herod the Great on pp. 445-57. This work also has scattered material about the Jews, Jewish antiquities, and Josephus. There is also a reference (p. 27) to Abraham Geiger’s book on Judaism and Islam (Bonn, 1833). Comstock offers several curious passages, as in "The Jews had the most technical religion that ever existed in the known world" (p. 60), or "The Jews were a nation, the male part of it, very much given to libidinous passions ..." (p. 465). Rinderknecht 49843.
