German Old Testament scholar
Rudolf Kittel (28 March 1853, in Eningen , Württemberg – 20 October 1929, in Leipzig ) was a German Old Testament scholar.
Kittel studied at University of Tübingen (1871–76). He was a professor of Old Testament studies at the universities of Breslau (1888–98) and Leipzig (1898–1923). In 1917 he was appointed rector at the University of Leipzig. [1]
He produced commentaries and histories of the Israelites and the Near East, but his most enduring work was his critical edition of the Hebrew scriptures, Biblia Hebraica , which has remained a standard text.
