Abstract

Theodor Buchmann, better known as Theodore Bibliander (1505-64), held the chair of Old Testament at the theological school in Zurich as the immediate successor to Huldrych Zwingli. A Hebraist and Orientalist who edited a Latin translation of the Qur'an, Bibliander professed a well-articulated universalist theology based on and around the knowledge of languages in general, and of Oriental languages in particular. In his treatise De ratione omnium linguarum et literarum commentarius (Zurich, 1548), Bibliander sought to promote the contemporary notions of harmonia linguarum and concordia mundi, as well as the study of Hebrew, as an essential means to achieving a universal salvation. The present volume is an annotated translation of this work.
