Elcan Durlacher
Elcan Durlacher (; 1817 – 21 December 1889) was a German Hebraist and publisher, best known for his translations of Jewish liturgy into French. Durlacher was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1817. He went to Paris in 1845 as a teacher of languages, and founded a Hebrew publishing-house, which was continued, after his death, by his son. He compiled a Hebrew reader and an almanac, and wrote a small book entitled Joseph and His Brothers. His two most notable works are a French translation of the German maḥzor, and another of the siddur, which he made with the assistance of L. Wogue, whose edition of the Pentateuch he published.
