Reuchlin, 1506, tribute to Loans
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]
