He studied Hebrew under Johannes Buxtorf II, in Basel. He was appointed professor of Oriental languages at Leipzig in 1668, and was pastor of St. Thomas' 1679-99, and professor of theology 1684-99.
He edited in 1674 Wilhelm Schickard's Jus Regium Hebræorum, and, later, the Prophetas minores Commentarius of Johann Tarnow (Tarnovius), John Lightfoot's Horæ Heb. et Talmudicæ, Friedrich Lanckisch's Concordantiae Bibliorum Germanico-Hebraico-Graecae, and in 1687 the Pugio fidei adversus Mauros et Iudaeos of Raimundus Marti. To the last-named work he prefixed his own Introductio in Theologiam Judaicam.
Some dissertations by Carpzov were published (1699) by his brother Samuel Benedict Carpzov; and in 1703 appeared his Collegium Rabbinico-Biblicum in Libellum Ruth.
