Did Martin Luther know Hebrew or Greek?

score:11

Luther did translate the bible to what is known as the Luther Bible from old Greek, old Hebrew and Aramaic sources - not the latin translations that were widely used with the catholic church in Germany.

Here are the two hints from the wikipedia article:

He used Erasmus' second edition (1519) of the Greek New Testament, known as the Textus Receptus.

[...] by 1534 he completed his translation of the old and new testaments from Hebrew and Greek into the vernacular [...]

Luther was more familiar with Hebrew ~~Greek~~ than with Greek ~~Hebrew~~ which is why his translations received help by others - especially Philipp Melanchthon.

Luther must have known at least German, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic.
