Georges Vajda (18 November 1908 - 7 October 1981) was a French Arabist and Hebraist, scholar of Islam, and historian of medieval Jewish thought.
Having a solid knowledge of classical languages and Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish, from 1933 he was a member of the editorial committee of Revue des Études Juives and professor of the Bible and of Jewish theology at the Séminaire Israélite de France.
After the liberation of France, he was director of studies in religious sciences of the École pratique des hautes études.
In 1970 he also became a professor of post-Biblical Jewish literature at the University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle.
This work includes several volumes on the Arabic- and Hebrew-language manuscripts in the collection of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
