Excerpt from Leopold Zunz: His Life and Times One of the outstanding Jewish literary develop ments of the nineteenth century is closely connected with the-name of Yom Tob Lippmann Zunz more familiarly known as Leopold Zunz. This was the employment of a new method in Jewish scholarship. Hitherto Jewish scholarship had been almost entirely one - sided. The study of the Talmud, for instance, was with few exceptions limited to the knowledge of its contents to the complete neglect of its sociological background and historical growth. The age of Enlightenment introduced by Mendelssohn in the 18th century did not bring any real improvement in this respect as the Haskalah movement had an entirely different aim, to make the Jews acquaint with general culture. Lack of comprehension of the historical development of the Jewish people and its literature remained therefore as stron ly marked as before. The method introduced by tuuz, however, completely revolutionized Jewish learning, to such an extent as to make it possible to speak of Modern Jewish Scholarship. A record of the life and work of such a man cannot fail to be of interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
