FIRST JEWISH BOOK PRINTED IN MILWAUKEE. Martin Philippson (1846-1916) was Professor of History, first at the University of Bonn, and later at the University of Brussels. He authored several modern historical studies ranging from the Elizabethan Era to the History of the Counter-Reformation. His final years in retirement in Berlin were devoted to Jewish communal work. He headed the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judentums, which commissioned his three-volume Neueste Geschichte des jüdischen Volkes (1907-11). See JE, Vol. IX, pp. 684-5; EJ, Vol. XIII, col. 397
