Samuel Krauss

Samuel Krauss (Ukk, February 18, 1866 - Cambridge, June 4, 1948) was professor at the Jewish Teachers' Seminary, Budapest, 1894–1906, and at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Vienna, 1906–1938. He moved to England as a refugee and spent his last years at Cambridge.

He was a contributor to the Jewish Encyclopedia as S. Kr.[1]

"Professor Krauss's scholarship encompassed every area of ancient Judaism."[2] In 1910, he became a pioneer in Talmudic archaeology with the publication of Talmudische Archäologie, which was reprinted in Hebrew in 1924.[3] In 1998, his 1922 study of the ancient synagogue, Synagogale Altertümer, was still considered essential reading on the topic.[2]

In 1935 he published a comprehensive and detailed study of Biblical names of ninety eight then modern nations.[4]

gollark: Well, it does seem that all sufficiently complex computer systems end up with horrible vulnerabilities somewhere because people cannot into security, but apart from that.
gollark: You can use advanced technology called "basically any cryptography and sensible system design".
