Ludolf's extensive studies focused on the Arabic, Syriac, and Ethiopian languages, as well as Islamic history and literature. He was a prolific writer, publishing numerous works that significantly advanced the field of oriental studies in Europe. One of his most notable achievements was the compilation of a comprehensive Arabic-Latin dictionary, which remains an essential reference tool for scholars today.
