Biography
Martin Emmanuel Filippson was born on June 27, 1846 in the city of Magdeburg in the family of a Jewish-German public figure, writer, fighter for the equal rights of Jews, Rabbi Ludwig Philippson . He studied at the Faculty of History, University of Berlin [3] [4] .
After graduating from university in 1868, he was a teacher at the Berlin Jewish Normal School in 1870, and then volunteered for the army during the Franco-Prussian War . After the conclusion of peace, Phillipson began to read, as a private assistant professor, the history of the new time at the University of Bonn [5] [4] .
In 1875, Martin Philippson was appointed extraordinary professor after having published a number of outstanding works on the French and Spanish history of the era of Henry IV, Louis XIV and Philip II. Elected as an ordinary professor at several German universities, Philippson was not approved by the government, which did not want the Jew to occupy the department of modern history [6] [4] .
In 1878, M. Philippson became an ordinary professor in Brussels , where he taught his famous course on the history of the counter-reformation and hegemony of France (these works were published and translated into many languages, among other things, into Russian). As the rector of the University of Brussels , Phillipson had a conflict with students who were hostile to the "German" professor, and in 1891, after repeated sharp clashes with them, Phillipson resigned and settled in Berlin, where he devoted himself entirely to social activities in the interests of the German Jews [4] .
Martin Philippson served as chairman of the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judenthums, which was founded in part thanks to his generous donations; In addition, Filippson led the Deutsch-israelitischer Gemeindebund, Verband der deutschen Juden, Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums and many other Jewish social and scientific institutions [4] [7] .
Filippson's merits were marked by membership in the Belgian Academy of Sciences and the Madrid Historical Society [8] [4] [9] .
In addition to a significant number of works on the New History of Western Europe, distinguished by both originality and freshness of thought, and elegance of presentation, Filippson also wrote a three-volume history of Jews since the French Revolution , “Neueste Geschichte des jüdischen Volkes” (1907-1911); the third volume was devoted to the history of Jews in Russia (ed. Gesellschaft für Förderung der Wissen. des Judenthums). This work of Philippson is lower than his work on the history of the reformation and counter-reformation; in it he is not so much an original thinker and researcher of primary sources as a talented popularizer, not always free from biased opinions and trends [4] [10] .
In addition, Philippson published articles in various Jewish periodicals and conducted an annual review of Jewish history in Verein's Jahrbuch für jüdische Gesch. und Literatur [4] [11] .
Martin Emmanuel Philippson died on August 2, 1916 in the city of Berlin.
