Johann Buxtorf (1564-1629), the "Master of the Rabbis," despite being a Protestant, was a Hebrew professor at the University of Basel for thirty-nine years. Upon his death, his position passed to his son Johann, known as Buxtorf the Younger (1599-1664), and then to his grandson, Johann Jakob (1645-1704). Throughout his life, he worked on the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, largely established by the Tiberian School in the 9th century. This text defined the authoritative biblical canon within Judaism and served as a reference for most Protestant and Catholic translations of the Old Testament.
