Pinkus Friedrich Frankl (Hebrew: פנחס פראנקל; February 28, 1848 – August 22, 1887) was a German rabbi and scholar.
Biography
[edit]
Pinkus Friedrich Frankl was born in Ungarisch-Brod, Moravia, in 1848. He received his education at the yeshivah in Presburg, and later prepared for the rabbinate at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau.[1] Simultaneously, he pursued studies in Orientalia at the university of the same city, earning his doctoral degree in 1870.
In 1875, Frankl assumed the position of secretary of the Wiener Israelitische Allianz.[2] In 1877, he succeeded Abraham Geiger as rabbi in Berlin. Frankl's responsibilities expanded in 1881 when he also took on a teaching role at the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums, lecturing in Jewish philosophy, medieval Hebrew literature, and homiletics.[3] During this period, he collaborated with Heinrich Graetz on the publication of the Monatsschrift für die Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums.
