JELLINEK, ADOLF (18211893)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 315 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JELLINEK, ADOLF (18211893) , Jewish preacher and scholar, was born in Moravia. After filling clerical posts in
Leipzig
 , he became Prediger (preacher) in Vienna in 1856. He was associated with the promoters of the New Learning within Judaism, and wrote on the history of the Kabbala. His bibliographies (each bearing the Hebrew title Qonlres) were useful compilations. But his most important
work
  lay in three other directions. (1) Midrashic. Jellinek published in the six parts of his Beth ha-Midrasch (18531878) a large number of smaller Midrasci, ancient and medieval homilies and folk-
lore
  records, which have been of much service in the
recent
  revival of
interest
  in Jewish apocalyptic literature. A translation of these collections of Jellinek into German was undertaken by A. Wuensche, under the general title Aus Israels Lehrhalle. (2) Psychological. Before the study of ethnic psychology had become a science, Jellinek devoted attention to the subject. There is much keen analysis and
original
  investigation in his two essays Der judische Stamm (1869) and Der judische Stamm in nicht jiidischen Spriiclt-wortern (18811882). It is to Jellinek that we owe the oft-repeated comparison of the Jewish temperament to that of women in its quickness of perception, versatility and sensibility. (3) Homiletic. Jellinek was probably the greatest
synagogue
  orator of the 19th century. He published some 200 sermons, in most of which are displayed unobtrusive learning, fresh application of old sayings, and a high conception of Judaism and its claims. Jellinek was a powerful apologist and an accomplished homilist, at once profound and ingenious.
His son, GEORGE JELLINEK, was appointed professor of inter-national law at Heidelberg in 1891. Another son, MAX HERMANN JELLINEK, was made assistant professor of philology at Vienna in 1892.
A brother of Adolf, HERMANN JELLINEK (b. 1823), was executed at the age of 26 on account of his association with the Hungarian national
movement
  of 1848. One of Hermann Jellinek's best-known works was Uriel Acosta. Another brother, MORITZ JELLINEK (1823-1883), was an accomplished economist, and contributed to the
Academy
  of Sciences essays on the price of cereals and on the statistical organization of the country. He founded the Budapest tramway company (1864) and was also president of the corn exchange.
See Jewish Encyclopedia, vii. 92-94. For a character sketch of Adolf Jellinek see S. Singer. Lectures and Addresses (1908), pp. 8813 ; Kohut, Beruhmte israelitische Manner and Frauen. (I. A.
