Sumario:A review essay of Anthony Grafton and Joanna Weinbegr's remarkable ' I Have Always Loved the Holy Tongue'. The essay seeks to pay homage to their exemplary contribution to our understanding of Early Modern Christian Hebraism - and of erudition more generally - by expanding on their pioneering study through reflection on three themes: Casaubon's early Hebrew studies; the motivation and scope of his learning; and his posthumous reputation as a Hebraist.
