⁂ The first is the doctoral thesis of Jan Jacob Schultens (1716-1788) who became professor at Herborn in 1742, and later succeeded to his father's chair of oriental languages at Leiden. In the first of these works Jan Jacob defends his thesis before his father, Albert Schultens, whose own thesis Dissertatio theologico-philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretenda sacra lingua [The Use of Arabic in the Interpretation of Scripture] had appeared in 1706.

The second work is the supplementary fifth volume of Bartolocci's Bibliotheca magna rabbinica, the earliest account of Hebrew literature in its rabbinic phase.
