In this biography of Johann Ernst Gerhard (1621-1668) Asaph Ben-Tov
offers a study of a now forgotten yet unusually well documented
seventeenth-century orientalist. Gerhard, the son of the famous
Lutheran theologian Johann Gerhard, is not a towering figure but
rather a fascinating representative of the academic culture of his
day, especially of seventeenth-century oriental studies. His extant
Nachlassallows a close scrutiny of the life and work of an early
modern scholar, focussing on his training, travels, the ambitious
Harmonia linguarum orientalium (1647) and other works, and the
interests he fostered as a professor of history and theology in
Jena. It aims to shed light on the broad and understudied field of
oriental studies in seventeenth-century Germany.
