university and the Collegio Rabbinico. After graduating in humanities and
receiving his rabbinic diploma, he took up teaching positions in both
institutions. At this time his main research was on the history and literature
of the Jews of Italy. From 1914 to 1925 Cassuto was chief rabbi of Florence and then in 1925 became
professor of Hebrew language and literature in the University of Florence and
then took the chair of Hebrew at the University of Rome. Here he began to
catalogue the Hebrew manuscripts in the Vatican but the 1938 anti-Semitic laws
forced him out of his positions and he continued his academic career at the
Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He edited a Bible with Hebrew commentary that has
remained an Israel school classic. Prof.
Israel Abrahams--English translator of Cassuto's works was an outstanding Hebrew scholar in his own right. Born March 30, 1903 in Vilna, Lithuania, he came to Cape Town, South Africa in 1937 and for more than thirty years--since August of that year until mid-1968--held the position of Chief Rabbi of that city. Upon retirement, he made aliyah and passed away in Jerusalem in October
1973. |
