Abraham Moses Luncz

Abraham Moses Luncz (December 9, 1854 – 1918) (Hebrew: אברהם לונץ) was a Russian scholar and editor born at Kovno, Russia.

In the exploration of the Holy Land, Luncz has rendered great services from the historical, geographical, and physical standpoints, through his guide-books for Palestine, his Palestine annuals, and his Jerusalem almanac: He owned a Hebrew printing press in the Ezrat Yisrael neighborhood, across the street from his own home in Even Yisrael.

[1] From there he issued a number of works by Jewish Palestinian scholars, Estori Farḥi's Kaftor wa-Feraḥ[3] and Josef Schwarz's Tebu'ot ha-Areẓ being the first works published.

[1] As of 1904, he had in press a new edition of the Jerusalem Talmud with commentary and introduction.
