summary
German historian Meyer Kayserling (1829-1905) studied with S.R. Hirsch in Nikolsburg, S.J. Rapaport in Prague and S.B. Bamberger in Würzburg. From 1870 until his death, he served as Rabbi of Budapest. Despite his many monographs in diverse areas of Jewish scholarship, his groundbreaking study of the history of the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula is most celebrated. His bibliography, Biblioteca Española-Portugueza-Judaica remains to this day an indispensable reference work. See JE, Vol. VII, p.460; EJ, Vol. X, cols. 855-6
