Biographical Outline: Nathaniel Julius Reich (=NJR) with a Chronological Bibliography Appended Compiled by Robert Kraft, fall 1985, from the Archives at the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania [catalogued as "MS20" = 16 boxes with multiple folders in each] Personal description of NJR (photos in Archive files) -- 1929 passport: 5' 4" tall, dark brown eyes, brown hair. Photos from 1922 show bearded face; later a moustache. [some genealogical information on rabbinic connections is found in 2.4.06no1923 letter to Ben Mittler, with reference to the question of whether NJR was qualified to deal with modern Jews with Yiddish backgrounds at the NY Public Library] "I want to tell you (as I do not know if you know it) that we have in our family 14 (fourteen) Rabbis. The brothers of my father [Wilhelm Reich] are Rabbis, the oldest is Oberrabbiner of the orthodox Jews in Budapest (Hungary) of [the] whole [of] Hungary. [Wilhelm's brother Koppel (born in Verbo, Hungary, 1838; died 1929, became chief rabbi of Budapest in 1890 -- see art in Ju%disches Lexicon.] Also from my mother['s] side I am from a Rabbi's family. My mother's uncle was (he is dead) Rosh Beth Din in Pressburg (Hungary), the famous Rabbi Daniel Steinschneider [how related to Moritz Steinschneider, famous Jewish Oriantalist d. 1856 or so? see JEncy]. My mother's first grade cousin was (he died 5 years ago) the well know[n] Rabbi in Berlin (Germany) Dr. Ungerleider, also Rosh Beth Din of Berlin. In our family Jewish Learning was at home everytimes. My father kept me Russian and Polish Bakhurim for governors from my earliest childhood who taught me in both Bible and Talmud and Rabbinic Literature as my father wanted me to get [i.e. become] a Rabbi." [For more information, see the CJS archives for Wilhelm Reich; Wilhelm's father was Abraham Ezekiel Reich, Rabbi of Bannewitz (Hungary) and possibly also of Verbo.] 1876ap29 born in Sarvar, Austria-Hungary (Ungern), as the oldest son among 7 children to Oberrabbiner of the Conservative Congregation of Baden (bei-Wien), Wilhelm Reich (1852-1929), and Sidonie Sommer (died ca 1898); brother Albert Reich, born 27mr1879 in Sarvar married Louise (Lolly) Braun, lived in Vienna, then France sister Emma (Reich) Rosenzweig, lived in Budapest, son Albert and a daughter (older? any info about her husband?) [step?] brother Sigmund Reich (in Israel in 1944, perhaps Haifa) [lots of tensions felt towards him by NJR ca 1927] [step-] sister Sidonie (Sidi Reich) Sternfeld married Bertold Sternfeld (living in Lu%beck in 1930), son Heinrich step-brother Ernst (Ernest) Reich, lived in Strasbourg step mother practically blind in 1927 (father also ill) 188? Volksschule, Baden 1888-97 Gymnasium, Baden bei Wein/Vienna 1898-99 Berlin University [? after 1900; see 7.13.1921 CV below] 1899 Matriculated at Vienna University 1900 Vienna Technichal School (Technischen Hochschule) (one year) [see 7.13.05se1921 CV:] "...Im Yahre 1900 machte ich an der Technischen Hochschule in Wien die Aufnahmspru%fung aus Freihandzeichnen und Darstellender Geometrie, um dann ein Jahr an dieser Hochschule zu verbringen, wo ich an der sogenannten allgemeinen Abteilung mich vorzugweise mit architektonischem Zeichnen, Akt-malerei, Staatsverrechnung, Mechanik neben den u%blichen Fa%chern befasste, nachdem ich meine sonstigen naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse schon an dir Berliner Universita%t durch Vorlesungen auf den Gebieten der Chemie (Fischer) und Physik sowie durch werkta%tiges Arbeiten in einem chemischen Laboratorium erweitert hatte." 1901(?) Berlin University [see 7.13.1921 CV in German (above)] 1904 "Doctor of Philosophy," Vienna University Lehranstalt fu%r Orientalische Sprachen diss: Prolegomena zu einer vergleichenden und praehistorischen Grammatik [der chamitischen und semitischen Sprachen] mit besonderer Beru%chsichtigung des Aegyptischen und seiner Dialekte [from bio in 7.26 under Education:] "My father intended me for the Rabbinate and hence gave me a complete Rabbinical training in Bible, Talmud, and the other Rabbinical literature. I also learned from my father from childhood Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Syriac. I also studied piano, violin, and cello, also drawing, sketching, and painting. In the University I studied the following subjects: Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic, Assyrian-Babylonian, Ethiopic, Egyptian, Arabic Palaeography and Papyrology, Oriantal History, Comparative Philology, Classics and Epigraphy, and modern European History. At the same time I attended the Lehranstalt fu%r Orientalische Sprachen in Wien where I studied Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. I also attended for one year the Institute of Technology (Technische Hochschule) in Wien where I studied arcitecture and higher mathematics. The subjects in which I specialized for my doctorate were as follows: Semitics (including Paleography, papyrology and Oriental History) and Egyptology as majors and philosophy as minor. My dissertation was entitled: ...[as above]. I had resolved to make my life work a collection of data wherever found in Oriental records (manuscripts, potsherds, inscriptions, etc. etc.) concerning the Jews, for the purpose to write a complete history of the Jews in the Ancient Orient, North Africa, Greece and Rome. The work when completed should form a "living commentary" on the Bible and Talmud. Hence I found it necessary to extend my knowledge in the Chamitic languages of Africa and in those of the near east. Accordingly I studied the Old Persian, Sumerian, Assyrian, and Hittite cuneiform, the Phoenician inscriptions of North Africa and Meroitic inscr. of Nubia and the South Arabian dialects. I believe in particular that the Demotic material is very improtant for this subject ecause it is of the period when the Jews had the greatest political power and developed the Jewish Alexandrian culture. For this reason I made special study of Demotic. I also studied for similar purposes those subjects that pertain to the management of libraries, museums, treatment of manuscripts and antiquities for preservation, and making of squeezes and casts; also chemistry (theory as well as laboratory work). I attended also the Universities [of] Berlin, Strassburg, Munich (4 semesters), Oxford (3 terms)." 1907 Strassburg (one year or less) 1908 Munich (total 4 years in Germany) [see 7.13.05se1921 CV:] "...1908 wurde ich von der Staatsbibliothek in Mu%nchen mit der wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung ihrer demotischen Papyri, koptischen MSS und aeg. Ostraka betraut." 1908-9 Oxford (three terms; two years; but 4 years total in ENG) worked especially with Prof. Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862-1934) [also mentions work "in London for 3 years"!] [from the aforementioned bio:] "Dr. F. Ll. Griffith, Professor of Egyptology in Oxford, entrusted me with the work of his private collection of potsherd inscriptions." [see also publication 1910-11 p.2, ref to early 1909 in BM] 1909 Innsbruck [see 7.13.05se1921 CV:] "...1909 entrollte ich im Auftrag des Museums 'Ferdinandeum' (Innsbruck) seine Papyri...[then mention of Paris project]." 1910-12 Munich (four terms; two years; 4 years total in Germany) Librarian (?), worked on Demotic and on Innsbruck papyri [from the aforementioned bio, under Professional Activity:] "The authorities of the Munich Library entrusted me the preparation of a catalogue of the Demotic papyri and the Coptic and bilingual Coptic-Arabic manuscripts; The papyri of the Innsburck Landesmuseum were unrolled and preserved under my supervision." [see further 7.13.05se1921 CV:] "...Im Yahre 1911 worde ich von der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien beauftragt, die demotischen Steininschriften des British Museum zu bearbeiten (Subvention K 1800~). Das British Museum u%berliess mir die Bearbeitung und Publikation einer Anzahl von aeg. Papyri (vero%ffentlich: 52. Bd. der 'Denkschriften der Adademie der Wissenschaften zu Wien'). Auch die Ostraka des Ashmolean Museums (Oxford) bekam ich zur Publikation." 1913 Privat-Dozent fu%r Aegyptologie at Univ of Prague [see 7.13.1921 CV:] "Im Yahre 1913 worde ich auf einstimmigen Vorschlag des Professorenkollegiums der Deutschen Universita%t in Prag auf Grund meiner (14) wissenschaftlichen Publikationen, des Dozentenkolloquiums und des Probevortrages zum Dozenten fu%r Aegyptologie dortselbst vom Wiener Ministerium besta%tigt." 1913-14 Turin Papyri and Inscriptions Project (one year) [from the aforementioned bio, under Professional Activity:] "Dr. Ernesto Schiaparelli, Director of the Museo di Antichita in Turin (Italy) and Professor at the University in the same city, invited me to edit the papyri and inscriptions of his museum, which were to be published partly by the Academies of Sciences in Turin and Rome, and partly by the King. I worked on this material till the end of 1914 when, on account of the war I had to return to Austria, where the academy of Sciences in Vienna gave me a subvention for the publication of the part already completed. By reason, however, of the fall of the Austrian currency the work was discontinued after the plates were printed. Being in America now, and unable to complete the work which would require my presence in Turin, I suggested to Prof. Schiaparelli that he entrust the work to my teacher and friend Prof. Griffith, a suggestion which he readily last year [i.e. 1923] adopted." [see also 7.13.05se1921 CV:] "...Im Jahre 1913 beauftragte mich das Museum von Turin (Italien) mit der wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung ihres grossen neuen Papyrusfundes (ein Archiv von etwa 50 Papyri) und in der Folge ihres alten Bestandes demotischer Papyri, Ostraka und Steininschriften. All dies ha%tte sollen auf Kosten des italienischen Ko%nigs, der Akademien der Wissenschaften von Turin und Rom geschehen, wurde indessen durch den Krieg unterbrochen." "[Then, linked to mention of Innsbruck project in 1909]...und der Leiter der aeg. Abteilung des Louvre (Paris) Mr. Benedite unterhandelte [? overwritten] schon mit mir u%ber meine Bearbeitung der Louvre-Papyri als der Krieg ausbrach. Meine Arbeiten erfreuten sich zusehends des Beifalls." "[Then, after mention of contacts with Anderson in Upsala] ...Der Universita%tsprofessor fu%r Aegyptologie in Paris (an der Sorbonne) Gaston Maspero ra%umte mir fu%r meine Arbeiten sogar das sta%ndige Recht ein, sie gleich direkt in die Druckerei seiner beru%hmten Zeitschrift 'Recueil etc.' einzusenden, ohne dass er es voraus zu sehen brauche [(added) Ein Recht, das nur 3 oder 4 Gelehrte mit mir teilten]." 1916 Vienna subvention (K 3000) [see 7.13.1921 CV, after Turin] "...Fu%r einen kleineren Teil der Arbeit, den ich im Yahre 1916 in Wien einreichte, wurde mir von der Wiener Akademie der Wissenschaften eine Subvention von K 3000~ bewilligt." 1918[summer] Neuen Wiener Tagblattes (commercieller Buchhalter) [so application in 7.13.12mr1921:] "Einige Monate des Jahres 1918 verbrachte ich aushilfsweise als commercieller Buchhalter in der Administration des 'Neuen Wiener Tagblattes'." [This period is even more detailed in 7.13.1921 CV:] "1917 schlug mich das gleiche Professorenkollegium fu%r einen fu%nfstu%ndigen Lehrauftrag in Prag vor, was die Wiener Regierung fu%r 1919 bewilligen wollte. Inzwischen kam der Umsturz. Unter der neuen Regierung worde der Vorschlag erneuert und urgiert, aber die Prager Regierung legte ihn einfach ad acta. Da sich durch die grosse Teuerung meine materiellen Verha%ltnisse zusehends verschlechterten, musste ich nun in Wien bleiben und mich nach einem Erwerb umsehen, was mir zeitweise gelang, u%berall nur als Aushilfe und provisorisch, daher nichts Sicheres [note appended here at bottom of page: "Hier kam es mir zugute, dass ich mich seinerseit fu%r soviel Verschiedenartiges interessiert und es gelernt hatte wie: Buchhaltung und alle kaufma%nnischen Fa%cher, das Bankwesen und mancherlei industrielle Erzeugungen sowie anderes Praktische.

Es ging immer schlechter und ich dachte schon an den Tod, als ich in den Lagerha%usern der Stadt Wien durch Herrn Stadtrat Breitner Aufnahme fand.

Budge, Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Department of the British Museum, entrusted me with the publication of papyri of which I have published the first volume in the Transactions of the Academy of Sciences in Vienna. etc. etc. Almost every year during this period I received subventions and scholarships through the recommendations of the faculties of Prague and Vienna respectively. I regard it as a special honor that Dr. E. Anderson, Prof. of Egyptology in Upsala, Sweden, and editor of the important Egyptological Journal "Sphinx", requested me to allow him to put my name on the front page of the Journal as permanent collaborator along with the most famous Egyptologists [see JNR publications for 1910-11; similar comments in 7.13.1921 CV]. I have been fortunate enough to count among my numerous students men of various countries. Among them I desire to mention no less a name than that of Dr. Koschaker, Professor of History of Law in Leipzig (Germany) and Prof. Hopfner, Professor Univrsity of Prague (Czecho-Slovakia), Dr. Epstein, MD, etc. etc." [see also 7.13.12mr1921 application:] "Dem bisher ausgeu%bten Berufe nach Dozent an den Universita%ten Prag und Wien habe ich la%ngere Zeit im Auslande (England, Italien, Deutschland, Schweiz und Frankreich) verbracht [in 7.13.05se1921 he puts it this way: "...meine Reisen nach Deutschland (wo ich 4 Yahre lebte), England (4 Jahre, darunter 3 Terms, die ich an der Oxforder Universita%t verbrachte), Italien (1 Yahr), dann noch ku%rzere Zeit Schweiz, Frankreich, Holland."] und bin im Englishen, Italienischen, Franzo%sischen, Spanischen, Tu%rkischen, Persischen, Arabischen und Chinesisch [7.13.05se1921 adds Assyrisch, Hebra%isch, Aethiopisch (see further below on African and Central American dialects)] bewandert, von denen ich besonders des Englische genau so wie das Deutsche beherrsche."
