The author, Heinrich Opitz (1642-1712) was a German theologian and Orientalist. The intent of his work here was to teach the Hebrew language via translations of the Bible with indication of the root-word 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.
