Reuchlin, Johannes (1454/5–1522), German humanist. About 1485 he began to study Hebrew, with the help of learned Jews, and he became interested in
Kabbalistic doctrines. His most important work,
De Rudimentis Hebraicis (1506), which consists of a Hebrew grammar and lexicon, placed the scientific study of Hebrew on a new basis and encouraged the study of the OT in the original. His later life was troubled by controversy with the
Dominicans of Cologne, who advocated the destruction of Jewish religious books. His opposition, combined with his interest in Kabbala, led to his being involved in a long trial for heresy. He remained a loyal Catholic.
