THE Jubilee, Passover, Dedication, and Expiation, were the principal Feasts of the ancient Jews, as they still continue to be at present.

Comparatio anniversaria Expiationis Pontificis maximi cum unica & æterna Expiatione Jesu Christi, by James Rhenferd, at Franekar, 1696, in 8vo.
Upon the Feast of the Passover, see what we have said of it in our Dissertation on this Subject prefixed to our Comment on St. Matthew, and Maimonides, de Solemnitate Paschali, apud Crenium, fascic. 7.
Henry May, or Maius, the Son, published in Latin Maimonides’s Treatise concerning the Privileges of the seventh Year, and of the Jubilee, together with a Preliminary Dissertation, printed at Frankfort on the Mein, 1708, in 4to. He not only translates his Author’s Text very faithfully, but has added Notes, explaining the difficult Places of it. In his Dissertation he draws up a short Abstract of the Doctrine which Maimonides sets forth in his Treatise.
As to the Feast of Dedication, there are scarce any besides German Authors who have written of it, as may be seen in Lipenius’s Bibliotheca Theologica & Philosophica, upon the Word Encænia.
