Point of view, says Michaelis, is that which gives language its form.
Michaelis is quite sceptical of such a project.
He maintains that an artificial language would not only be jejune and lacking in grace, but also that it would be subject to the same problems as any natural language, such as the tendency to split into dialects.

Johann David Michaelis (1717-1791), German biblical scholar and teacher, was a member of a family which had the chief part in maintaining that solid discipline in Hebrew and the cognate languages which distinguished the university of Halle in the period of Pietism.

Michaelis was one of the Enlightenment's foremost admirers of ancient Judaism.
Michaelis the historian appropriates the Hebrew Bible against contemporary Jews, finding in the second book of Moses—the account of the exodus from Egypt—a memory of Egypt that gives the modern German states a persuasive argument against Jewish emancipation.
Like Michaelis, Dohm also constructs Jewish memory as incompatible with the modern state, but he solves this problem by appropriating it for the modern state, by using Jewish historical consciousness as a means to deliver the modern state from its own disaggregated Diaspora.

The ideas of Simon were further established in Protestant regions by the work of Johannes Clericus, though the tendencies of Protestantism were conservative, and its supporters came later to hope that the learning of Carpzov would establish firmly the truth of the traditional views.

Johann Salomo Semler made the next contribution of importance (in his Abhandlung von freier Untersuchung des Kanons, 4 parts, Halle, 1771–75), when he distinguished between the word of God, which contained the doctrines of directly spiritual value, and the Holy Scriptures, which contained them only sporadically.

 H-Net Review: Willi Goetschel on Germans, Jews and the Claims of Modernity
Fleshing out Johann David Michaelis's peculiar blend of Oriental scholarship, which sought to find evidence for the claim of Christianity's superiority by enlisting anthropological research on Arabs, Hess highlights the hermeneutic thrust that dictated the confines in which the "Jewish Question" was debated.
Michaelis was not only Moses Mendelssohn's nemesis but also responsible for the way in which Orientalism set the stage for the discourse of emancipation.
His discussion of Michaelis and Dohm provides a convincing framework for the consensus of eighteenth-century secular Biblical scholarship and early liberal thought as being in agreement, albeit with different agendas, to view Judaism and "the Jewish Question" as nothing more than a problem that required a solution.

 Biblical Criticism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This was the birth of historical-critical study of the Bible, although not until Johann Gottfried Eichhorn (1752–1827) and Johann David Michaelis (1717–1791) was the modern historical-critical pattern set.
Reacting against the supernatural element in the Gospels and casting about for a Jesus made in their own image, idealists found Christ to be the ideal man; rationalists saw him as the great teacher of morality; socialists viewed him as a friend of the poor and a revolutionary.
The most popular “lives of Jesus,” the two by David Friedrich Strauss, rejected most of the Gospel material as mythology; and Bruno Bauer ended his quest by denying that there ever was a historical Jesus.

Johann Georg Gmelin (1709-1755) entreats Linnæus to help him with the classifications of the plants in his Flora Sibirica (1747-1769).
Also Johann Amman (1707-1741), professor of botany at St. Petersburg, told Linnæus that surely he could not mean that the laws of nature were sanctioned by God.

None was hungrier than the German Orientalist and Bible translator Johann David Michaelis, who organized the so-called Niebuhr expedition to feed his appetite for the kind of concrete data absent from Biblical scholarship until the late eighteenth century.
Michaelis would put these resources to work in his prodigious Old Testament translation, a work that consistently employed Oriental antiquities to defamiliarize the German Bible.
This project, I suggest, was one part of a larger effort in the later eighteenth century to recuperate the meaning of a Bible shorn from the comfortable cradle of theology.

The linguistic theory of Johann Gottfried Herder (1744—1803) contributed to this development by endowing words, and the memories they preserved of German speakers’ common descent, with almost mythic powers to create culture and community.
Thus, for Michaelis, the linguistic conventions of Oriental tongues distorted religious truth, as seen, for example, in stories involving the term celestial manna.
And, Michaelis feared, the fact that the substance was “no more than a gum exuding from plants” was obscured when Moses made use of Israelite expressions that wrongly held that dew “came from above,” not from the earth.

 God in the New World
One of the first men to set the scientific study of the Bible on its feet was Johann David Michaelis (1717-91), a professor and prodigious scholar of Göttingen, who became a legend in his own lifetime.
It was Herbert Marsh (1757-1839), Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, who introduced the work of Michaelis into England, and who taught that Christian faith was not dependent upon a doctrine of the verbal inspiration of Holy Scripture.
It was this which caused the composite narrative of Israel’s origins to be attributed to Moses, the Psalms to David, and the Epistle to the Hebrews to Paul.

In 1760 he was invited as engineer-lieutenant to join the expedition being sent out by Frederick V of Denmark (at the suggestion of the Hebrew scholar Johann David Michaelis of Göttingen) for the scientific exploration of Egypt, Syria and Arabia, the first of its kind.
The team, which had no appointed leader, included Friedrich Christian von Haven (Danish linguist and orientalist), Pehr (or Peter) Forrskal (Swedish botanist), Christian Carl Kramer (Danish physician and zoologist), Georg Baurenfeind (artist, from southern Germany) and a Swedish ex-soldier named Berggren.

 The First Coming: How the Kingdom of God Became Christianity (Introduction)
As bourgeois optimism about the ethical improvability of mankind collapsed in the carnage of the war, a new generation of Protestant theologians came into their own, and they had little patience with the socially acceptable but innocuous Jesus who had been invented by their liberal forebears.
Already in 1892the young scholar Johannes Weiss, who in fact was the son-in-law of Albrecht Ritschl, had profoundly shaken the liberal Protestant dogma that Jesus was merely an ethical teacher of the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the gradual growth of the kingdom of God in this world.
The hypothesis of the "Q-document" (although without that name) apparently was first postulated either by Johann David Michaelis (1717-1791) in Introduction to the New Testament, 1793-1801, or by Johann Gottfried Eichhorn, Über die drey ersten Evangelien, in Allgemeine Bibliothek der biblischen Literatur, Leipzig, (1794), 5:759-996.
