Levi Bodenheimer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Levi Bodenheimer (born December 13, 1807, at Carlsruhe; died August 25, 1867, at Krefeld) was a German consistorial rabbi at Krefeld, in the Rhine province. He occupied the position of rabbi at Hildesheim in 1837.

Bodenheimer published:

  • "Das Testament Unter Benennung einer Schenkung, nach Rabbinischen Quellen" (Krefeld, 1848)
  • "Das Paraphrastische der Arabischen Uebersetzung des R. Saadja Gaon"
  • The Blessing of Moses
  • The Song of Moses

The last two of these were comparisons of the translations contained in Brian Walton's Polyglot, with a special reference to the Greek and Arabic variants.
