Reimarus, Hermann Samuel (1694–1768), Deist and biblical critic. From 1727 he was professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages at Hamburg. Between 1744 and 1767 he composed the treatise from which G. E. Lessing published the Wolfenbüttel Fragments in 1774–8. The work, which Reimarus withheld from publication during his lifetime, rejected miracles and revelation, and accused the biblical writers of conscious fraud, contradictions, and fanaticism. It was published in full in 1972.
