“De Republica Hebraeorum is an essentially conventional presentation of the traditional Calvinist views on biblical antiquity and on Judaism and the Jews…The true novelty of this work, however, consists in its quarrying of the Mishneh Torah for the study [of] the ancient Jewish Commonwealth.” See A. L. Katchen, Christian Hebraists and Dutch Rabbis (1984) p. 39
