unusual facts about Eberhard Schrader


Sanballat the Horonite

Eberhard Schrader, cited in Brown Driver Briggs, considered that the name in Neo-Assyrian Aramaic was Sîn-uballit, from the name of the Sumerian moon god Sîn meaning "Sîn has begotten." (The name of the moon god Sîn in the context of Sanballat's name has since been mistakenly confused with the unrelated English noun sin in some popular English commentaries on Nehemiah).


Salmanu

Eberhard Schrader theorized that he might be identical with the Shalman who waged war on Israel and sacked Beth-arbel (Hosea x. 14); though other scholars identify Shalman with one of the Assyrian kings named Shalmaneser.

Next to Liebig, famous professors at the university included the theologian Adolf von Harnack, the lawyer Rudolf von Jhering, the economist and statistician Etienne Laspeyres, the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the mathematicians Moritz Pasch and Alfred Clebsch, the gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka, the philologist and archaeologist Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker, and the orientalist Eberhard Schrader.
