summary

N.S. Libowitz was a “gentleman-scholar” whose youthful success in the diamond business afforded him the opportunity to devote himself to writing, editing and other intellectual pursuits. Born in Poland in 1862, Libowitz emigrated to the United States in 1881. After a short spell in Palestine in 1927, he returned to America, where he died in 1939.
