Johann Georg Rosenmueller (1736-1815) was perfectly suited to write the text to Luigi Mayer’s ‘Views of Palestine’. In 1796 he became an associate professor in Arabic studies at Leipzig, where in 1813 he was appointed professor of Oriental languages. Rosenmüller was the author of a major exegetical work on the Old Testament titled Scholia in Vetus Testamentum.
