Johannes Buxtorf I (or the Elder) (1564-1629) served as Professor of Hebrew at the University of Basle. According to Moritz Kayserling, he was the “principal founder of Rabbinical study among Christian scholars” (JE, Vol. III, p. 444). His Lexicon served generations of Christian scholars as a guide to their studies in Talmud and Rabbinics. See EJ, Vol. IV, col. 1543. <<This copy bound with:>> Delphi Phoenicizantes, sive Tractatus, in quo Graecos, quicquid apud Delphos celebre erat…e Josuae historia…ostenditur: Appenditur Diatriba de Noae in Italiam…His accessit Oratiuncula pro Philosophia liberanda.
