(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Morris Jastrow Jr. was a Polish-born American orientalist and librarian associated with the University of Pennsylvania. Biography He was born in Warsaw in Congress Poland, and came to Philadelphia in 1866 when his father, Marcus Jastrow, a renowned Talmudic scholar, accepted a position as Rabbi of Congregation Rodeph Shalom. He was educated in the schools of Philadelphia and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1881. His original intention was to become a rabbi. For this purpose, he carried on theological studies at the first modern rabbinical seminary in Central Europe, the newly-established Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau in the equally newly-established German State, while pursuing the study of Semitic languages at German universities.
