Name John Campen | ||
John van Campen (died September 6, 1538 at Freiburg im Breisgau) was a Christian professor of Hebrew at Leuven and Cracow.
He compiled a Hebrew grammar from Elias Levita's work, which ran through three editions (Cracow, 1534; Paris, 1539, 1543). He also commented on Psalms in a manner to earn the praises of Hupfeld ("Psalmen," iv. 474), and attached the commentary to a paraphrase which appeared at Paris, 1533; Leyden, 1534; Basle, 1548, etc.
Campen was summoned to Cracow by the prince bishop, Piotr Tomicki, on very favorable conditions.
