Lived 1652 – 1695 (aged 42). Abraham Hinckelmann was a German university teacher, hymnwriter, orientalist, librarian, superintendent and parson.
Abraham Hinckelmann (2 May 1652, Döbeln, Electorate of Saxony – 11 February 1695), a German Protestant theologian, was an Islamologist who was one of the first to print a complete edition of the Qur'an in Hamburg in 1694.
Later in 1698, a cleric named Ludovico Marracci from the "Society of the Monks of the Divine Path" published another edition which, unlike Hinckelmann's, also included a translation and commentary of the Quran.
