Why Is Maximilian Nagel Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Maximilian Nagel was a German theologian. Life Maximilian Nagel was born in Altdorf bei Nürnberg, the eldest of the 14 recorded children of the Hebrew scholar and Orientalist Johann Andreas Michael Nagel and of that man's wife, Maria Magdalena Riederer, daughter of the Nuremberg market superintendent. While Maximilian was still a child he was seen to be exceptionally talented, as a result of which his father paid particular attention to his education. In part he was taught directly by his father: in part he was sent to city school under Rector Kleemann. He thereby acquired a broad schooling that centred on Philosophy, but which also took in Latin, Greek, French, Arabic, Hebrew and Rabbinic languages.
