August Pfeiffer (1640–1698) was a prominent German Lutheran Orientalist whose Latin works on Hebrew philology and biblical exegesis were widely read in the 17th century, but no evidence of a complete English translation of his 'Commentarius in Obadiam' (1670) exists in major library catalogs or scholarly databases. While his scholarship is cited in modern academic works on the history of biblical studies, the text itself remains untranslated into English.

About This Book
biblical-studiestheologylinguistics
Step into a 17th-century intellectual battlefield where August Pfeiffer dismantles the provocative claim that the Roman Empire—and by extension, Christendom—is the true 'Edom' of biblical prophecy. This work is a masterclass in philological detective work, transitioning from sharp religious polemics to a mystical investigation of Enoch, the patriarch who became the angel Metatron.
