EDITORS COMMENTS
Albert Schultens: A Dutch Hebrew Scholar of the 18th Century (1686-1750) This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity of Albert Schultens, a prominent Dutch Hebrew scholar of the 18th century. Born in Amsterdam on October 14, 1686, Schultens dedicated his life to the study of Hebrew language, literature, and history. His impressive body of work significantly contributed to the field of Hebrew studies during a time when the Jewish community in the Netherlands was flourishing. Schultens' scholarly pursuits began at a young age, and he quickly gained recognition for his expertise in Hebrew grammar and philology. He published numerous works, including a comprehensive Hebrew grammar, a critical edition of the Mishnah, and a commentary on the Talmud. Schultens' scholarship was not limited to Hebrew texts alone; he also made significant contributions to the study of Greek and Latin texts, particularly those related to Jewish history. Despite the challenges of living in a time of religious and political turmoil, Schultens remained dedicated to his work. He was a member of the prestigious Dutch Society of Sciences and Belles-Lettres and served as the rabbi of the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam. Schultens' legacy extended beyond his written works; he also taught many students who went on to become prominent scholars in their own right. This portrait, taken in the later years of Schultens' life, captures the deep concentration and intellectual curiosity that defined his scholarly pursuits. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of scholarship and the impact that one individual can have on the academic community. Albert Schultens passed away on March 21, 1750, leaving behind a rich and lasting legacy in the field of Hebrew studies.
