(from title leaf) Primo, fuse agitur de rationibus legum Judaicarum generalibus; huic ad calcem adduntur dissertationes duæ: De theocratia Judaica, una, De lege usuram prohibente, altera

Secundo, de legibus Mosaicis quibus Zabiorum ritus occasionem dedere fuse disseritur; huic ob argumenti vicinitatem, adjiciuntur dissertationes duæ: una in decretum illud apostolicum, Act. 15. 20. Ut abstineant a pollutionibus idolorum, & a fornicatione, & a suffocato, & a sanguine, altera in distichon illud Martialis vexatissimum, Ecce negas, jurasque mihi per Templa Tonantis. Non credo: jura, verpe, per Anchialum. Lib. II. epigr. 95.

Tertio, de iis Hebræorum legibus & institutis agitur, quibus gentium usus occasionem præbuit; hic octo dissertationibus absolutus est, harum I. Generalius agitur de ritibus e gentium moribus in legem translatis ; II. De origine sacrificiorum ; III. De purificationibus ; IV. De neomeniis ; V. De arca & cherubinis ; VI. De templo ; VII. De origine ... urim & thummim ; VIII. De hirco emissario
