Talmudist-Scientist
Baruch Ben David of Shklov,
a Talmudic scholar and expert
in Rabbinic Law who lived in
Russia in the 18th century, de-
voted much of his time to popu-
larizing natural science among
East European Jewry. Among his
published works were books on
hygiene, astronomy and anatomy.
He also translated into Hebrew
the first six books of Euclid as
well as the latter's treatise on
plane and spherical geometry.
