Ellinger (Ellingen), Nathan
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or German rabbi; born 1772; died July 4, 1839, at Bingen-on-the-Rhine. According to the archives of Mayence, he and his brother L�b were rabbis of Mayence in 1808. From 1809 to 1821 Nathan was director of the Talmud school at Hamburg; and from 1821 till his death,rabbi at Bingen (see L�wenstein, "Geschichte der Juden in der Kurpfalz," p. 172, note 2). Several Talmudic manuscripts written by Ellinger are in the Bodleian Library, Oxford (Neubauer, "Cat. Bodl. Hebr. MSS." Nos. 528-532, 862, 966). In the Memorbuch of the community of Bingen (No. 673) he is called "ha-?adosh weha-?ahor," although otherwise only martyrs are mentioned as ?adosh.
Ellinger's brother, L�b Ellinger, rabbi of Mayence, was born in 1770; he died 9th Ab, 1847. He is called "L�b Schnadig" (from "Schneittach") in the obituary of the Memorbuch of Mayence. Carmoly has written his biography.
There are also Ellingers in Frankfort-on-the-Main, who came originally from F�rth. (see Horowitz, "Inschriften," Nos. 1884, 2934, 3041, 5648). The Mayence register of 1763 mentions a Moyses L�w Ellinger, designating him as "neuer ang�nger [e., a newcomer] who was placed under protection." The "Guide de la Ville de Mayence" of the year IX. of the French Republic mentions various members of the Ellinger family.
