Using comparative linguistic evidence from continental Germanic sources, the 19th century scholar Jacob Grimm proposed the existence of a cognate form of Ēostre among the pre-Christian beliefs of the continental Germanic peoples, whose name he reconstructed as * Ostara.

A masculine Elb is reconstructed from the plural by Jacob Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch, who rejects Elfe as a ( then, in the 1830s ) recent anglicism.

Jacob Grimm discusses " Wights and Elves " comparatively in chapter 17 of his Teutonic Mythology.

Jacob Grimm in his Deutsches Wörterbuch deplored the " unhochdeutsch " form Elf, borrowed " unthinkingly " from the English, and Tolkien was inspired by Grimm to recommend reviving the genuinely German form in his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings ( 1967 ) and Elb, Elben was consequently reintroduced in the 1972 German translation of The Lord of the Rings.

On the latter Jacob Grimm does not make a direct association to the elves, but other researchers see a possible connection to the shining light elves of Old Norse.

Jacob Grimm noted that if, as Adam of Bremen states, Fosite's sacred island was Heligoland, that would make him an ideal candidate for a deity known to both Frisians and Scandinavians, but that it is surprising he is never mentioned by Saxo Grammaticus.

Jacob Grimm theorized that Hel ( whom he refers to here as Halja, the theorized Proto-Germanic form of the term ) is essentially an " image of a greedy, unrestoring, female deity " and that " the higher we are allowed to penetrate into our antiquities, the less hellish and more godlike may Halja appear.

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm ( also Karl ; 4 January 1785 – 20 September 1863 ) was a German philologist, jurist and mythologist.

Up to this time Jacob Grimm had been actuated only by a general thirst for knowledge and his energies had not found any aim beyond the practical one of making himself a position in life.

Jacob Grimm lectured on legal antiquities, historical grammar, literary history, and diplomatics, explained Old German poems, and commented on the Germania of Tacitus.

The first work Jacob Grimm published, Über den altdeutschen Meistergesang ( 1811 ), was of a purely literary character.

The closely related subject of the satirical beast epic of the Middle Ages also held great charm for Jacob Grimm, and he published an edition of the Reinhart Fuchs in 1834.

Jacob Grimm in his Teutonic Mythology observes that:

The rest of his life was mainly occupied with the composition of the two great works on which his fame rests, the Grammar of the Romance Languages ( 1836-1844 ), and the Lexicon of the Romance Languages -- Italian, Spanish and French ( 1853 ); in these two works Diez did for the Romance group of languages what Jacob Grimm did for the Teutonic family.

Jacob Grimm in Teutonic Mythology speculates that Walthari, literally " wielder of hosts ", may have been an epithet of the god of war, Ziu or Eor, and that the circumstance that the hero of the Waltharius poems loses his right hand in battle may be significant, linking him to the Norse tradition of Tyr.

Historically, the term was influenced by the Gothic term * haiþi, appearing as haiþno in Ulfilas ' bible for translating gunē Hellēnis, " Greek ( i. e. gentile ) woman " of Mark 7: 26, probably with an original meaning " dwelling on the heath ", but it was also suggested by Jacob Grimm in his Deutsche Mythologie ( Teutonic Mythology ) that it was chosen because of its similarity to Greek ethne " gentile " or even that it is not related to " heath " at all, but rather a loan from Armenian hethanos, itself loaned from Greek ethnos.

The rationalistic method pursued by the new school of Maimonists ( including Levi ben Abraham ben Chayyim of Villefranche, near the town of Perpignan, and Jacob Anatolio ) especially provoked his indignation ; for the sermons preached and the works published by them seemed to resolve the entire Scriptures into allegory and threatened to undermine the Jewish faith and the observance of the Law and tradition.
