Johannes Reuchlin (1455–1522) plays an outstanding role in German literary and intellectual history. As a humanist and a practising jurist in the service of the Duchy of Württemberg, he was an influential force in the academic and political activities in pre-Reformation Germany. As a leading Hebraist of his time, he attempted to make the Hebrew language and Jewish literature accessible to philologists, philosophers and theologians north of the Alps and also to preserve both of these.
