Lazarus Goldschmidt (1871-1950) was a Lithuanian-born German Jewish scholar. Born and raised in Lithuania, went to Germany in 1888 to study at the University of Berlin with August Dillmann and Eberhard Schrader. Specialized in Oriental languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Ethiopic...), translated 1 Enoch into Hebrew (1892), and the Quran (1916) and the whole Babylonian Talmud into German (1930-1936). To escape racial persecution, moved to England in 1933.
