In Hebrew. 391 pages. 235 x 160 mm. Abraham Epstein (December 19, 1841-1918) was a Russo-Austrian rabbinical scholar born in Staro Constantinov, Volhynia. Epstein diligently studied the works of Isaac Baer Levinsohn, Nachman Krochmal, and S. D. Luzzatto, and when he traveled in western Europe for the first time in 1861, he made the acquaintance of J.L. Rapoport, Z. Frankel, and Michael Sachs. After his father's death in 1874 (see Israel Epstein's biography in Ha-Sha?ar, vi.699-708) Epstein took charge of his extensive business interests, but gradually wound up all his affairs, and from 1884 devoted most of his time to travel and study. He settled in Vienna in 1876 and became an Austrian subject. He was the possessor of a large library which contained many valuable manuscripts. Epstein is the author of the Kadmut ha-Tanhuma, a review of S. Buber's edition of the Midrash Tanhuma (Presburg, 1886), and of Mi-Kadmoniyyot ha-Yehudim, which contains treatises on Jewish chronology and archaeology, and a revised and annotated edition of Midrash Tadshe (Vienna, 1887). He is the author of other works as well.
