biography
Arnoldi was born on October 1, 1750 in Herborn (father Valentin A.). His grandfather, the Dutch orientalist Albert Schultens, aroused his interest in the linguistic and cultural regions of the Near East. He began his studies in 1769 in Groningen , from 1772 he studied for several years with his uncle Joh. Jakob Schultens in Leyden . When he was offered a professorship in Philologia sacra and church history at the Illustre grammar school in Hanau in Hesse in 1778 , he left Holland and accepted this position. In 1789 he was transferred to the theological faculty of the Philipps University in Marburg and remained its dean until his death .
Services
His achievements were mainly not in his comparatively few publications but rather in his pedagogical skills as his students, such as Friedrich Rehm , Hermann Hupfeld , Johann Wilhelm Bickell (1799-1848) or August Vilmar , attested.
