Jacob ben Jehiel Loans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacob ben Jehiel Loans (Yacov of Linz, Jakob von Linz, Yaakov ben Yechiel Loans) (died 1506) was an Italian-Jewish rabbi, Court Jew and personal physician to Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor (1440-93), and who was the first Hebrew teacher to Johann Reuchlin.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] Loans had served for at least 7 years before he met Reuchlin, and was his teacher for nearly a year.^[6]^[7] They met in 1492. Reuchlin wrote a letter to Loans in Hebrew in 1500 that he later published, which triggered attacks from Johann Pfefferkorn, an anti-Judaic Jewish-to-Christian convert. Loans knew Reuchlin was looking to acquire a Hebrew Bible codex, and Loans arranged for the Emperor to give one to Reuchlin.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] He was raised to the nobility in 1465.^[12] He is also said to have been the physician to Frederick's son and successor, Maximilian I.^[13]
