Samuel Krauss
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel Krauss (1866-1948) was professor at the Jewish Teachers' Seminary, Budapest, 1894-1906, and at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Vienna, 1906-1938. He came to England as a refugee and spent his last years at Cambridge.
He was a contributor to the Jewish Encyclopedia as S. Kr.[1]
"Professor Krauss's scholarship encompassed every area of ancient Judaism."[2] In 1910, he became a pioneer in Talmudic archaeology with the publication of Talmudische Archäologie, which was reprinted in Hebrew in 1924.[3] As of 1998, his 1922 study of the ancient synagogue, Synogogale Alertümer, was still considered essential reading on the topic.[2]
In 1935 he published a comprehesive and detailed study of Biblical names of ninety eight then modern nations.[4]
