Johann Christoph Georg Bodenschatz (1717-1797) was a German Jewish scholar. In Erlangen, he devoted himself to the study of the Old Testament and the Jewish Antiquities and made on the basis of these studies, models of the Tabernacle and the Ark of Noah. In 1748-49 he published his major work, Church Constitution of today, particularly the German Jews
illustrated with engravings in four parts. A second edition appeared in 1756 in Frankfurt under the title \\\"Honest German-talking Hebrew, or the rites and ceremonies of the Jews.\\\\\\\" In it he developed from spoken and written sources for the full account of Jewish rites and customs. The work, therefore, serves as a source of Jewish ceremonial practice in the first half of the 18th Century in Germany.
