GOLDZIHER, IGNAZ (1850 ) , Jewish Hungarian orientalist, was born in Stuhlweissenburg on the 22nd of June 185o. He was educated at the universities of Budapest, Berlin,
Leipzig
  and Leiden, and became privat docent at Budapest in 1872. In the next year, under the auspices of the Hungarian government, he began a journey through Syria, Palestine and
Egypt
 , and took the opportunity of attending lectures of Mahommedan sheiks in the mosque of el-Azhar in Cairo. He was the first Jewish scholar to become professor in the Budapest University (1894), and represented the Hungarian government and the
Academy
  of Sciences at numerous international congresses. He received the large gold

Cambridge
 (19o4)and LL.D. of Aberdeen (1906). His eminence in the sphere of scholarship is due primarily to his careful investigationofpre-Mah'ommedan andMahommedanlaw,tradition, religion and poetry, in connexion with which he published a large number of treatises,
