Talk by Philip E. Hughes
The reputation which Johann Reuchlin built up in the Germany of the Reformation was based mainly on his achievements in the field of Hebrew learning. His Rudiments of Hebrew was published before the Reformation. In this talk Mr. Hughes explains Reuchlin's interpretation of the Jewish Cabala with special reference to the secret names of God as disclosed in his book The Cabalistic Art, which appeared in the same year as Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door.
