Biography
Gotthold Salomon (November 1, 1784, Sandersleben (Anhalt-Dessau) — November 17, 1862, Hamburg ) was a German Jewish rabbi, politician and Bible translator.
Following on the work of Moses Mendelssohn, Gotthold Salomon was the first Jew to translate the complete Old Testament into High German, under the title Deutsche Volks- und Schulbibel für Israeliten (1837) ("German People's and School Bible for Israelites"). He served as preacher in the Hamburg Temple, and partook in the public dispute around it in 1841.
