1511 1569 Hebrew Protestant Scholar Theologian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative woodcut print depicts Paul Eber (1511-1569), a renowned German Protestant theologian and Hebrew scholar. Eber's intellectual prowess and commitment to the Reformation movement made him a significant figure in the religious and academic landscape of the 16th century. Born in Nuremberg, Eber studied at the University of Wittenberg under the tutelage of Martin Luther, the father of the Protestant Reformation. He went on to become a prominent theologian in his own right, known for his works on biblical exegesis and theology. However, Eber's true passion lay in the study of Hebrew and the Old Testament. He was one of the first Protestant scholars to translate the Hebrew Bible into German, a project that took him over two decades to complete. His translation, known as the "German Bible of Paul Eber," was widely used and helped to solidify the German language as a medium for biblical study. This woodcut print captures Eber in the midst of his scholarly pursuits, surrounded by books and papers, with a quill in hand and a serious expression on his face. The Latin inscription at the top reads "Paulus Eberus," while the German inscription at the bottom reads "Der Verfaßer der Deutschen Bibel," or "The Author of the German Bible." Eber's legacy as a theologian, scholar, and translator continues to be felt today. His works on biblical interpretation and his German Bible translation remain influential in Protestant theology and biblical studies. This print serves as a reminder of Eber's significant contributions to the intellectual and religious history of Europe during the Protestant Reformation.
