Baruch Spinoza
Dutch translation of the Old Testament (lost)
Manuscript
Dutch translation of the Old Testament (lost)
A translation project of which only Colerus' testimony remains, gathered from the family he lived with. It fits his command of Hebrew, the Compendium of grammar and his interest in Dutch readers reading Scripture without intermediaries. Nothing survives.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
Authorship note
According to Colerus, he had begun translating the Old Testament into Dutch, had finished the five books of Moses and burned the work in his room a few days before his death.
