EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the intellectual depth and scholarly prowess of Matthaus Hiller (1646-1725), a renowned German churchman and scholar of Greek and oriental languages. Hiller's distinguished career unfolded at the prestigious Tubingen Academy, where he dedicated himself to the meticulous study of ancient languages and texts. Born in the small town of Dillingen an der Donau, Hiller was initially educated by the Jesuits before continuing his studies at the University of Ingolstadt. He later joined the Protestant church and, in 1676, was appointed as a professor of Greek at Tubingen Academy. In 1683, he was promoted to the chair of oriental languages, a position he held until his retirement in 1715. Hiller's expertise in Greek and oriental languages was unparalleled in his time. He was known for his meticulous scholarship and his ability to decipher complex texts that had previously defied interpretation. His groundbreaking work on the Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, revolutionized the field of biblical studies and solidified his reputation as a leading scholar. Despite his scholarly pursuits, Hiller remained deeply committed to his faith. He served as a churchman and was known for his piety and devotion. This portrait, with its solemn expression and scholarly attire, reflects both the intellectual rigor and the spiritual depth that characterized Hiller's life and work. The legacy of Matthaus Hiller continues to resonate in the fields of biblical studies, classical languages, and the history of scholarship. His tireless dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and his unwavering faith serve as an inspiration to scholars and students alike.
