SCHULTENS , the name of three Dutch Orientalists. The first and most important, See also:ALBERT SCHULTENS (1686-1750), was See also:born at See also:Groningen. He studied for the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church at Groningen and See also:Leiden, applying himself specially to See also:Hebrew and the cognate See also:tongues. His dissertation on The Use of Arabic in the See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
Interpretation of Scripture appeared in 1706. After a visit to See also:Reland in See also:Utrecht he returned to Groningen (1708); then, having taken his degree in See also:theology (1709), he again went to Leiden, and devoted himself to the study of the MS. collections there till in 1711 he became pastor at Wassenaer. Disliking parochial See also:work, in 1713 he took the Hebrew See also:chair at See also:Franeker, which he held till 1729, when he was transferred to Leiden as See also:rector of the collegium theologicum, or See also:seminary for poor students. From 1732 till his See also:death (at Leiden on the 26th of See also:January 1750) he was See also:professor of See also:Oriental See also:languages at Leiden. Schultens was the See also:chief Arabic teacher of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, and in some sense a restorer of Arabic studies, but he differed from J. J. See also:Reiske and A. I. De Sacy in mainly regarding Arabic as a handmaid to Hebrew. He vindicated the value of See also:comparative study of the Semitic tongues against those who, like Gousset, regarded Hebrew as a sacred See also:tongue with which comparative See also:philology has nothing to do. His See also:principal See also:works were Origines Hebraeae (2 vols., 1724, 1738), a second edition of which, with the De defectibus linguae Hebraeae (1731), appeared in 1761; See also:Job (1737) ; See also:Proverbs (1748); Vetus et regia via hebraezandi (1738) Monumenta vetustiora Arabum (1740), &e.
