Bigdê Kohanîm Id Est Vestitus Sacerdotum Hebraeorum: Sive Commentarius Amplissimus In Exodi Cap. XXVIII. ac XXXIX. & Levit. Cap. XVI. Aliaque loca S. Scripturae quam plurima
Johannes Braun's 1697 Latin treatise on the vestments of Hebrew priests, printed in Amsterdam and drawn from Exodus and Leviticus for a scholarly readership of biblical and antiquarian students. Its engraved plates show robed male figures in full-length garments with headdresses, belts and jewelled breastplates, with some plates isolating single garments or sandalled feet for close study. A designer could draw on the layered textures of the fabrics, the tall mitres and turbans, and the clear frontal poses as models for historical costume.
