Buxtorf (1564–1629), professor of Hebrew at the University of Basle, compiled an edition of the Hebrew Bible with the Aramaic Targum, Masoretic Text, and the most important Jewish commentaries, employing two Jewish scholars for this project. His other works include, Praeceptiones Grammaticae Hebraicae, 1605, a textbook of Hebrew, which ran into 16 editions, one of them in English translation (London, 1656); Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum (1607), Concordantiae Bibliorum Hebraicae (1632); Lexicon Chaldaicum Talmudicum, this last completed by his son, Johannes Buxtorf (the younger, 1599–1664), Bibliotheca Rabbinica, a pioneer bibliography work containing about 324 rabbinical titles; and Juden Schuel (Synagoga Judaica, Basle, 1603), which reflects Buxtorf’s negative attitude towards Jews.
