About David Kohn
- David Kohn (1838–1915) was a Russian archaeologist and Hebrew writer.
- He was born at Odessa and received a rabbinic education, but at the age of fourteen he took up the study of medieval literature and modern languages, and soon afterward, history and archaeology.
- Some of his early writings included essays on fossil animals, the life of Rabbi Solomon Bennet, the Messianic movement, and the origin of Hasidism.
- He also contributed to "Ha-Shiloa?." Kohn was editor of the A?iasaf edition of Abraham ibn Ezra's "Diwan" (1894), as well as of Jacob Emden's autobiography and various other important works.
- He was also the first to attack Heinrich Graetz's criticism of the Biblical text, and to defend the Masorah.
- Besides the works already mentioned, he published: Me??ere ?ohelet ben Dawid, a historico-critical introduction to the Book of Ecclesiastes; Masoret Seyag le-Mi?ra, in defense of the Masorah against the hypercriticism of modern exegetes (1880); and Or we-?oshek.
