Pinkus Friedrich Frankl ( Hebrew: פנחס פראנקל; February 28, 1848 – August 22, 1887) was a German rabbi and scholar.
Pinkus Friedrich Frankl was born in Ungarisch-Brod, Moravia, in 1848. He received his education at the yeshivah in Presburg, and later prepared for the rabbinate at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau. [1] Simultaneously, he pursued studies in Orientalia at the university of the same city, earning his doctoral degree in 1870.
In 1875, Frankl assumed the position of secretary of the Wiener Israelitische Allianz. [2] In 1877, he succeeded Abraham Geiger as rabbi in Berlin. Frankl's responsibilities expanded in 1881 when he also took on a teaching role at the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums, lecturing in Jewish philosophy, medieval Hebrew literature, and homiletics. [3] During this period, he collaborated with Heinrich Graetz on the publication of the Monatsschrift für die Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums.
