Beschreibung

Hamburg, Samuelem Heilium, 1726. 4to. In contemporary full calf with four raised bands and richly gilt spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. A few stains and scratches to boards. A nice and clean copy. (12), 1127 pp. + portrait. Second edition of this important early Hebrew-Chaldean-Latin biblical lexicon. Heinrich Opitz began his studies at the University of Wittenberg in 1662 and later transferred to the University of Jena, where he earned his Magister degree in 1665. Opitz then focused on oriental languages during stints in Leipzig and Hamburg before traveling to Kiel in 1667 to work as a private lecturer. He embarked on a journey through the Netherlands and England three years later to deepen his understanding of oriental languages, visiting libraries in Leiden, Utrecht, and London. Opitz later went to Oxford to study oriental manuscripts before settling in Jena, where he worked with the university's philosophical faculty. In 1675, he became a professor of Greek language in Kiel, adding a professorship in oriental languages in 1679. His career progressed, culminating in his promotion to Doctor and professor of theology in 1689, followed by his appointment as an Oberkonsistorialrat in 1704. His works on the Hebrew language and Bible were influential for many years. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 61169
