In 1792 he travelled to the Orient, together with the British ambassador for the Ottoman Empire, Sir Robert Ainslie. Rosenmüller was a German Orientalist and Protestant theologian. In 1796 he became an associate professor in Arabic studies at Leipzig, where in 1813 he was appointed professor of Oriental languages.
