David Oppenheim (1664 – 12 September 1736) was the chief rabbi of Nikolsburg in 1689 and later of Prague.[1] His book collection constitutes an important part of the Hebrew section of the Bodleian Library in Oxford.[2][circular reference]
Oppenheim was born in 1664 in Worms, where his father, Abraham, was a communal leader. David Oppenheim's teachers included Gershon Ashkenazi and Ya'akov Sack (father of Tzvi Ashkenazi, the Chacham Tzvi). In 1681, he married Gnendl, daughter of the "court Jew" Leffmann Behrends (Lipmann Cohen) of Hanover.[3][4]
His extraordinary collection of manuscripts and prints was bought by the Bodleian Library in Oxford in 1829 for 9,000 thalers.[5]
