Morinus, Jean Morin, a French theologian (1591–1659), wrote on ecclesiastical antiquities, and ranks as one of the founders of biblical criticism mainly in virtue of his editions and notes on the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Targum (in the Paris Polyglott), and his Excavationes on the Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible.
