SERIES: Beiträge zur Geschichte der ältesten Auslegung und Spracherklärung des Alten Testamentes ; ; Bd. 2. Dukes [1810-1891] was born in Pressburg, Hungary. He was a student of R. Moses Sofer and of R. Hayyim Joseph Pollak; the latter introduced him to secular study. An inveterate, though poor, traveler, Dukes visited most of the important libraries in Europe, researching Jewish manuscripts and uncovering many hitherto unknown medieval works. His research covered various aspects of language and literature: aggadic literature, Bible exegesis, medieval Jewish literature, Hebrew grammar and the masoretic text, and talmudic maxims and truisms. Frequently, however, his research was unsystematic and his edited texts in need of correction. (EJ, 2007) BOUND WITH: Ewald, Heinrich.
