Christian Friedrich Schnurrer (1742-1822) was an acclaimed Hebraist and Arabist who served as a Professor at Tubingen University, and later as Chancellor of that institution. His enduring fame is his bibliography of Arabic literature: Bibliotheca Arabica (Halle, 1811). The present work is a collection of essays consisting of linguistic analyses of various Biblical passages.
