Max Leopold Margolis (born at Meretz, district (guberniya) of Wilna,
Russia (now Vilnius, Lithuania), October 15, 1866?1932) was a
Lithuanian-born American philologist. Son of Isaac Margolis; educated
at the elementary school of his native town, the Leibniz gymnasium,
Berlin, and Columbia University, New York city (Ph.D. 1891). In 1891
he was appointed to a fellowship in Semitic languages at Columbia
University, and from 1892 to 1897 he was instructor, and later
assistant professor, of Hebrew language and Biblical exegesis at the
Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati. In 1897 he became assistant
professor of Semitic languages in the University of California; in
1898, associate professor; and from 1902 the head of the Semitic
department. When Dropsie College was formed in 1909, Margolis was
chosen as Professor of Biblical Philology, remaining at Dropsie
College until his death in 1932.
Margolis was named editor-in-chief of the Jewish Publication Society's
translation of the Bible into English, the finished product being
published in 1917. He served as president of the Society of Biblical
Literature as editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature
(1914-1921). He was also editor of the Journal of the American
Oriental Society.
