Jacob Alting
Jacob Alting (27 September 1618 – 20 August 1679) was a Dutch philologist and theologian. He was professor at the University of Groningen: in 1643 in oriental languages and in 1667 in theology. His publications were overseen in 1687 by Balthasar Bekker.
Jacob Alting
Alting was born in Heidelberg, where his father Hendrik Alting was a professor. The 1618/1619 Synod of Dort forced the family to move to Leiden in 1622 and to Groningen in 1627.
