Heinrich Opitz (1642-1712) was a German theologian and Orientalist. This work of his teaches the Hebrew language through the translation of the text of the Five Books of Moses and the Book of Prophets, with indication or root words at page base. For example: Genesis 2:3 begins: “Vayivarech” [And He blessed] beside which is letter “b” which directs the user to note “b” below which reads “BRCh” [bless] - the root word.
