BUXTORF (John), the son of the former, and a learned professor of the oriental languages at Basil, distinguished himself, like his father, by his knowledge of the Hebrew language, and his rabbinical learning. He died at Basil in 1664, aged 65 years. His principal works are, 1. His translation of the More Nevochim, and the Cotzi. 2. A Chaldee and Syriac lexicon. 3. An anticritic against Cappel. 4. A treatise on the Hebrew points and accents, against the same Cappel.
