John van Campen

John van Campen

John van Campen (died at Freiburg im Breisgau September 61538) was a Christian professor of Hebrew at Leuven and Cracow.

He compiled a Hebrew grammar from Elias Levita's work, which ran through three editions (Cracow, 1534; Paris, 1539, 1543). He also commented on "Psalms" in a manner to earn the praises of Hupfeld ("Psalmen," iv. 474), and attached the commentary to a paraphrase which appeared at Paris, 1533; Leyden, 1534; Basle, 1548, etc.

Campen was summoned to Cracow by the prince bishop, Piotr Tomicki, on very favorable conditions.
