Theodor Bibliander (Theodor Buchmann; 1506-1564) was a Swiss scholar.
Biography
Orientalist, philologist of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. The father of Biblical research in Switzerland. In his commentaries on Revelation (1549) and 4 Ezra (1553) maintained the identification of Antichrist with the Papacy, yet showed a genuine attempt to extricate himself from the morass of contemporary polemics and come nearer to discovering what the apocalyptic writers wished their readers to understand.
