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 \u003ci\u003eNachlass\u003c\/i\u003eallows a close scrutiny of the life and work of an early modern scholar, focussing on his training, travels, the ambitious \u003ci\u003eHarmonia linguarum orientalium\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asaph Ben-Tov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004466444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004466449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Asaph Ben-Tov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966479134975,"sku":"9789004466449","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e11578cb-6733-4216-9fe9-76e9eb848e91.jpg?v=1711159969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/johann-ernst-gerhard-1621-1668-asaph-ben-tov-9789004466449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
