Bernard Picart and the first global vision of religion
Lynn Hunt (Editor),Margaret C. Jacob (Editor),W. W. Mijnhardt (Editor)
In an era of intense religious conflict in Europe, the "Ceremonies et costumes religieuses de tous les peoples du monde" (1723-37), written by Jean Frederic Bernard, set a new agenda for thinking about faith and provided a lasting visual template for representing the world's religions. The authors approach this work from a variety of angles.
