The Rev. Dr. Samuel Rosenblatt, rabbi of the Beth Tfiloh Congregation and lecturer in Jewish literature at the Johns Hopkins University, is one of three Baltimore scholars who have been extended grants in aid by the American Council of Learned Societies.
The Baltimoreans are among fifty-seven scholars named by the council at Washington to share in $64,000 in research grants.
Dr. Rosenblatt said his grant would be used to further his work on the first English translation of a theological moral treatise by Abraham Maimonides, son of Moses Maimonides, the most famous Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages.
The grant would be used, he declared, to pay for the photographing of the Maimonides manuscript in the Leningrad Library, a task already begun.
