summary

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. He was a “gentleman-scholar” whose early success in the diamond trade afforded him the opportunity to devote himself to writing - particularly polemics - and other intellectual pursuits
