Heinrich Grätz , 1817-91, German Jewish historian. He was the first modern historian to write, from a Jewish perspective, a comprehensive history of the Jewish people. His Geschichte der Juden (11 vol., 1853-75), of which there have been numerous English translations as History of the Jews, had enormous influence on subsequent Jewish historiography.
