Neumark, Jehuda Lob (BEN-DAVID), OF HANAU, a Jewish writer of note, flourished near the opening of the 18th century. He died April 9, 1723. Jablonski (q.v.) mentions Neumark in the preface to his Biblia Hebraica cum noiis Hebraicis (Berlin, 1699) as the author of a Hebrew Grammar, entitled שֹׁרֶשׁ יהוּדָה (Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1693), which was long used and valued. In the preface to this grammar Neumark gives a history of the best Hebrew grammarians, and criticises very sharply the neglect of Hebrew philology. See Furst, Bibl. Judaica, 3:31; De Rossi, Dizionario storico degli autori Ebrei, page 245 (Germ. trainsl.); Kalisch, Hebr. Grammar, 2:35; Steinschneider, Bibliographisches Handbuch, page 101; Catalogus Libr. Hebr. in Bibl. Bodleiana, page 1364; Zunz, Monatstage des Kalenderjahres, page 18 (Berlin, 1872; Engl. transl. by the Reverend B. Pick in Jewish Messenger, New York, 1874). (B.P.)
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
