Gollancz (1852–1930) was born in Bremen and was the brother of Sir Israel Gollancz. He officiated at the Bayswater Synagogue (1892–1923) and taught Hebrew at University College, London (1902–24) . In 1897, when he received the rabbinic diploma on the Continent from three Galician rabbis, he became the center of a controversy over whether the rabbinic title should be a recognized qualification for the Anglo-Jewish clergy with the ultimate result that the title was so recognized. Gollancz published a number of critical editions and translations from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac, including a Hebrew and English edition of Sefer Mafte'ah Shelomo (1914) and also of Joseph Kimhi's Shekel ha-Kodesh (1919) . Hermann was the first English rabbi to receive a knighthood (1923) . (Roth, EJ) Ex library. Covers a little worn around the edges, good condition. (RAB-22-17).
