A wormhole in the lower part affects the text in five lines. Johann Forster (Augsburg 1496 - 1558 Wittenberg) was a Lutheran theologian, linguist and companion of the Reformation. Between 1530 and 1535 he was in Wittenberg, where he was appointed preacher in the castle church. He was a daily guest in the home of Martin Luther, whom he helped with the translation of the Bible. In the last years of his life, Forster was able to complete his great scientific life's work, the multi-volume Hebrew-Latin lexicon (Dictionarium hebraicum novum, Basel 1557). It was the standard work for a long time. [35145].
