Talk:Valentine Greatrakes

Did Greatrakes know Hebrew?

I disagree with the assertion that Greatrakes did not know Hebrew and have rewritten the article accordingly. He was going to attend college in Dublin (Trinity College) following his education at the Lismore free school, so he must have at least had some Latin, as that language was generally a requirement for higher education at the time.
