He studied Hebrew under Johannes Buxtorf II, in Basel. He was appointed professor of Oriental languages at Leipzig in 1668, and was pastor of St. Thomas' 1679-99, and professor of theology 1684-99.
He edited in 1674 Wilhelm Schickard's ''Jus Regium Hebræorum'', and, later, the ''Prophetas minores Commentarius'' of Johann Tarnow (Tarnovius), John Lightfoot's ''Horæ Heb. et Talmudicæ'', Friedrich Lanckisch's ''Concordantiae Bibliorum Germanico-Hebraico-Graecae'', and in 1687 the ''Pugio fidei adversus Mauros et Iudaeos'' of Raimundus Marti. To the last-named work he prefixed his own ''Introductio in Theologiam Judaicam''.
Some dissertations by Carpzov were published (1699) by his brother Samuel Benedict Carpzov; and in 1703 appeared his ''Collegium Rabbinico-Biblicum in Libellum Ruth''. Provided by Wikipedia
