Reuchlin

Johannes Reuchlin was a 15th-century German humanist and scholar known for his expertise in Hebrew, Greek, and biblical studies. He sought to preserve and promote classical and Jewish texts during the Renaissance, contributing to the revival of scholarship and the understanding of sacred languages. Reuchlin defended Jewish texts against censorship and was involved in debates about the appropriate approach to Jewish literature and religious reform. His work laid important groundwork for the humanist movement and efforts to reconcile Christian and Jewish knowledge, influencing later religious and academic thought.
