KALISCH, MARCUS (or MAURICE) (1828-1885)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KALISCH, MARCUS (or MAURICE) (1828-1885) , Jewish scholar, was born in
Pomerania
  in 1828, and died in
England
  1885. He was one of the pioneers of the
critical
  study of the Old Testament in
England
 . At one time he was secretary to the
Chief
 
Rabbi
 ; in 1853 he became tutor in the Rothschild family and enjoyed leisure to produce his commentaries and other works. The first instalment of his commentary on the Pentatouch was Exodus (1855); this was followed by
Genesis
  (1858) and
Leviticus in two parts (18671872). Kalisch wrote before the publication of Wellhausen's works, and anticipated him in some important points. Besides these works, Kalisch published in 18771878 two volumes of Bible studies (on Balaam and Jonah). He was also author of a once popular Hebrew grammar in two volumes (1862-1863). In 188o he published Path and Goal, a brilliant discussion of human destiny. His commentaries are of permanent value, not only because of the author's originality, but also because of his erudition. No other works in
English
  contain such full citations of earlier literature. (I. A.)
