Johannes Buxtorf (1564–1629) was a celebrated Christian Hebraist and professor of Hebrew for 39 years at Basel. He was known to his colleagues by the title, “Master of the Rabbis.” Though he worked with Jews, his attitude toward Judaism was a mixture of curiosity and condescension. Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum is the third and final of Buxtorf’s Hebrew and Aramaic lexical works, the culmination of his dictionary project.
