Advice on David Rouach's Les Talismans: Magie Et Tradition Juives

Hi,

Does anyone have a copy of David Rouach's book Les Talismans: Magie Et Tradition Juives? I was wondering if this has information on jewellery.

Thanks,

Preethi

i find rouach's book very uninformative, and full of gross mistakes.

The only book worth having is "bijoux berberes au maroc", but only for the sheer number of pictures, for the information contained inside is quite inaccurate.

I remember having quickly red the one you are refering to, i think it stresses more on jewish tradition of making charms in morocco known elsewhere as Kabbalah. but is was long ago

Thanks very much for the input, ayis. Is the Bijoux Berberes au Maroc you refer to by Jean Besancenot? Because there's also a Bijoux berberes au Maroc dans la tradition judeo-arabe by Rouach...
