BUXTORF, JOHANNES. Lexicon chaldaicum talmudicum et rabbinicum. Nunc demum, post patris obitum..& multis propriis observantionibus passim locupletatum…in lucem editum à Johanne Buxtorfio filio.

* Wolf II, 550. Prijs 237. Johannes Buxtorf (1564-1629) and his son Johannes Buxtorf (1599-1664). Buxtorf began working on the Lexicon in 1609, and it was complete by his son in 1639. The titlepage is missing, but the engr. portrait of Buxtof with the date of 1639 is present. Present also the Epistola dedicatoria to the ordines of Groningen and Omlandia, in which the editor pays tribute to the Dutch Republic which favoured Jewish studies. Groningen is mentioned especially, as the University's professors Gomarus and Alting had encouraged Buxtorf to prepare the rabbinic lexicon. See Prijs 237 (pp. 365-370).
