Emo Vriemoet

Emo Lucius Vriemoet (born November 11, 1699 in Emden , † June 15, 1760 in Franeker ) was a German Reformed theologian and orientalist .

Life

The son of the accountant at the African and American trading company, Bernard Vriemoet and his wife Catharina Aldrich, received their first lessons at the educational establishments in his hometown. From 1715 to 1722 he devoted himself to the study of theology and oriental literature at the University of Utrecht . Adrian Reland , Frans Burman and Hieronymus Simons van Alphen had the greatest influence on his scientific education . Under Burmann's chairmanship, Vriemoet defended his treatise in 1719: de Terrae filiis apud Judaeos ... ad illustranda varia Scrituare Sacrae loca, inprimis Joh. 7, 49 . During his stay in Utrecht he was friends with Daniel Gerdes (1698–1765).

After completing his studies, he practiced preaching. His treatise, published in 1722: de Schiloh, Judae illustri germine, Genes , showed that he must have been constantly occupied with oriental literature . 49, 20. Qua de insignis illius vocabuli etymo et significatu disseritur . In 1724 he was a preacher in Loenen and in 1727 in Harlingen .

In 1730 he was appointed professor of oriental languages ​​at the University of Franeker as the successor to Albert Schultens . He took up this teaching post on March 15, 1731 with the speech de variis gentilium, ipsorumque Christianorum quorundarn in gentem judaicam conviciis, ex ignorantia rerum orientalium maximam partem ortis . In 1738 he received his doctorate in theology with the defense of the subject de sacris gentiliuin lucis and two years later became professor of Hebrew antiquities. Vriemoet also took part in the organizational tasks of the Frisian University and was rector of the Franeker Alma Mater in 1739, 1741, 1743 and 1753 .

Act

Vriemoet used his thorough knowledge of the language especially to explain dark parts of the biblical documents and Hebrew antiquities. This includes his Theses controversae antiquitatum israëliticarum , compiled from individual dissertations , the first part de locis sacris of which the second part de personis sacris dealt with. The study of oriental literature had encouraged his Hebrew and Arabic grammar, published in 1733. This appeared under the title Arabism . One of his most valuable works were the philological-theological notes on dogmatic evidence of the Old Testament, written in Latin. That work was published in three volumes from 1743 to 1757.
