The Dutch Calvinist Campegius Vitringa (1659-1722), Professor of Oriental Languages at the University of Franeker, was eminently familiar with all aspects of Judaism. His dissertation focused upon the ancient institution of the synagogue, “De Synagoga Vetere” (Franeker, 1685). See EJ, Vol. VIII col. 65.
