While Clement Clarke Moore is primarily known today as the author of "A Visit From St. Nicholas," during his lifetime he was a respected professor of literature and a scholar of ancient languages. His academic pursuits included a deep engagement with Oriental and Greek literature, and he compiled a significant Hebrew lexicon. Moore was deeply connected to New York City, donating land for a theological seminary and having a neighborhood named in his honor.
