Rudolf Kittel
Gravestone of Rudolf Kittel, Südfriedhof (Leipzig)
Rudolf Kittel (28 March 1853, Eningen, Württemberg - 20 October 1929, Leipzig) was a German Old Testament scholar. Kittel studied at Tübingen University. He became Professor of Old Testament at Breslau and Leipzig. 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.
Kittel's son was the theologian and Nazi apologist Gerhard Kittel.[1]
