Manuscript from the middle of the 18th c. on paper - SCHULTENS (Albert). After 10 unnumbered pages: ff. 1-107: "Elucidationes quaedam in prophetiam Esaiae calamo exceptae ex ore Il(lustri) Viri Alberti Schultens in Collegio Analytico incepte An. 1743, 44, 45, 46 " About twenty blank leaves end the work in-4° (binding rubbed, quires partly uncropped). If we understand correctly, these are notes taken at the classes of Albert Schultens. The beginning seems to be written down. The end seems to be taken directly, thus p. 146, the title is put ("Explicatio Esaiae caput XXI", but the text is missing. The student who takes note must have brushed the lessons. He leaves five blank pages...). Albert Schultens (1686-1750) Dutch philologist and orientalist born in Groningen where he studied, then left in 1706 for the University. In 1707, he was in Utrecht, then returned in 1708 to Groningen, where he graduated in theology in 1709. He then became pastor in Wassenaar. He gave up his parish post in 1713 to accept the chair of Hebrew at the University of Franeker. He remained there until 1729, when he was appointed rector of the collegium theologicum in Leiden, the seminary for poor students. From 1732 until his death he was professor of Oriental languages in Leiden. He has sometimes been called the father of Semitic comparative philology.
