Constantine L'Empereur
Constantijn L'Empereur (1591–1648) was a prominent Dutch Hebraist, a distinguished Orientalist and doctor of theology.
==Biography==
He was born in July 1591 in Bremen, Germany, to where his parents had fled from Belgium to escape religious persecution. He acquired great reputation for his knowledge of the oriental languages. He was also an able lawyer and divine and took his degree of doctor in the latter faculty. He studied the oriental languages under Drusius and Erpenius and after having been professor of theology and Hebrew at Harderwijk for eight years was in 1627 made professor of Hebrew at Leyden on which occasion he delivered an harangue on the dignity and utility of the Hebrew language and it was his constant endeavour to diffuse a knowledge of that language and of the Arabic and Syriac among his countrymen that they might be the better enabled to combat the objections of the Jews to the Christian religion.
In 1639 John Maurice of Nassau, governor of Dutch Brazil appointed him his counsellor. He died in June 1648 very soon after he had begun a course of theology at Leyden. He lived in much intimacy with Lewis de Dieu,〔For a biography of Lewis de Dieu, see Alexander Chalmers, ''The General Biographical Dictionary:'', "(Lewis de Dieu )", Vol. 12, p. 65. Printed for J. Nichols, 1813.〕 Daniel Heinsius and the Buxtorfs who were speaking very highly of him. He offered at one time to superintend the printing of a Talmudical dictionary in Holland and endeavoured to bring the younger Buxtorf to Leyden who had undertaken to defend the vowel points against Louis Cappel. He was also corresponding with the notable archbishop Usher.
