Another figure who greatly contributed to the successes of the German Renaissance was Johannes Reuchlin (1455-1522) who studied in various places in Italy and later taught Greek. This German humanist and scholar began studying Hebrew to search for religious and cultural truths. Through his study of Hebrew and Judaism, he aimed to purify Christianity. However, the papacy did not realize his motives and considered him a heretic. It is safe to say that Reuchlin, was an important humanist who contributed to the German Renaissance.
