In his younger years, he studied Oriental and Indo-European languages in Leipzig and Berlin. He completed his Habilitation in the field of Semitic languages and Assyriology, which paved the way for his career as professor in Leipzig, Wrocław, and Berlin. Delitzsch specialised in the study of ancient Near Eastern languages (Assyrian and Akkadian), and is also known for his vehement theological critique of the Old Testament. His theory that Judaism has Babylonian roots gave rise to the long-year Babel-Bible controversy. Delitzsch expressed his critique in his paper “Ex Oriente Lux”, the subject of this article. However, the article was mainly about the Deutsche Orient- Gesellschaft (German Oriental Society), established in 1898, of which he was a patron and co-founder. In his paper, Delitzsch talks about the purpose of this society, which is to promote research in the field of ancient Oriental studies and Near Eastern archaeology.
