Israel Zinberg (also known as Yisroel Tsinberg; born Sergei Lazarevich Tsinberg) (1873-1939) was a Russian-Jewish chemist and a historian of Jewish literature born in Rivne.[1][2] His works are considered significant in European Jewish Yiddish scholarship. Alumnus of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,[3] Zinberg was not a professional historian by background or training, but worked as a chemical engineer in Petrograd and pursued literary history as an "avocation."[4] He was a member of the St. Petersburg school of Jewish scholars along with Simon Dubnow.[1] He drew on the works of Moritz Steinschneider and Ber Borokhov as well as Solomon Birnbaum, Maks Erik, and Max Weinreich.[5] Zinberg's work is foundational to the field of Old Yiddish literary studies.[6]
In 1938, NKVD arrested Zinberg for Anti-Soviet agitation (Article 58 of the RSFSR Penal Code).[7] The same year, he died in Vladivostok.[8] Mark Wischnitzer believed he didn't die until 1943. [1]
