# Marcus Niebuhr Tod

Marcus Niebuhr Tod, OBE, FBA (1878–1974) was a British historian and epigraphist. He was a fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, from 1903 to 1947, and Reader in Greek Epigraphy at the University of Oxford from 1927 to 1947.

## Early life, education and the British School at Athens

Born in Highgate on 24 November 1878, Tod's father was a Scottish tea merchant; his mother was the daughter of the Prussian courtier Marcus von Niebuhr, and the granddaughter of the German-Danish historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr. Tod was educated at St John's College, Oxford, as a scholar, taking a first-class BA in classics in 1901.
After graduating, Tod spent four years as a senior student at the British School at Athens, supported by a Craven scholarship from the University of Oxford and a further scholarship from his old college. In 1902, he was appointed assistant director and librarian of the School and accompanied the director Robert Carr Bosanquet on excavations from 1903.

## Academic career and research

Tod was elected to a fellowship at Oriel College, Oxford, in 1903 and took up teaching when his studentships ended in 1905. From 1907, he lectured on Greek epigraphy in the university and was promoted to a readership twenty years later. During the First World War, he worked for the Ministry of Labour and then for most of the period between 1915 and early 1919 in Salonika as an interpreter and officer in the Intelligence Corps (being appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his service). Tod returned to teaching (which he enjoyed) and between 1934 and 1945 he was vice-provost at Oriel College.
While at the British School in Athens, Tod became interested in Spartan epigraphy, and also carried out investigations in Laconia. These led to several articles on the topics and he worked with Alan Wace to produce a catalogue of the Spartan Museum in 1906. In 1912, he won the Conington Prize at Oxford for his essay "Greek International Arbitration" which was published in 1913. He wrote a chapter for the fifth volume of The Cambridge Ancient History (1927) and three of his lectures delivered at University College London were published as Sidelights on Greek History (1933). In 1933 and 1948, he published a two-volume work, Greek Historical Inscriptions.
Tod retired from his fellowship and readership at Oxford in 1947, but was elected to honorary fellowships at St John's and Oriel. He was also an honorary member of staff at the University of Birmingham. He received honorary doctorates from Trinity College Dublin, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Birmingham and the University of Oxford. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1929. He died on 21 February 1974.

Working as a domestic servant at first, she moved to another Icelandic community in Winnipeg, Manitoba around 1890. Denied the right to vote in Canada, she became an active campaigner for the cause and by 1893, she was a lecturer on women's rights in the fast-growing city. At the time, the primarily Anglo-Canadian suffrage activists had not engaged the city's large immigrant population.

A mother of three, she edited Freyja by night while also frequently lecturing on the topic of suffrage. The journal, which had a significant following, is credited with helping to bring about woman's suffrage in Manitoba in 1916.

# Abraham Baer

Abraham Baer (born in Filehne, Prussia, December 26, 1834; died at Gothenburg, Sweden, March 7, 1894) was a German cantor, musician, and composer. His father destined him for the rabbinate; but his love for music and the song of the synagogue caused him to choose to become a Cantor (Hazzan). At an early age he emigrated to Germany, and there under the tutelage of eminent ḥazanim prepared himself for his sacred calling. He officiated for a time at Pakosh and Schwetz in West Prussia, and at the age of twenty-three (in 1857) was called to Gothenburg. Well equipped with Hebrew and Talmudic learning, he applied himself to the acquisition of secular knowledge and the science and art of music.
His researches were especially directed to the field of Jewish traditional melodies, then but little explored. In 1871, after fifteen years of hard work, he published his work, Bā'al Tefillah, oder der Practische Vorbeter — an almost complete collection of Jewish traditional melodies, of which a second revised and enlarged edition (358 pp. folio) appeared in 1883. The work contains fifteen hundred and five melodies, in German, Polish, and Portuguese (Sephardic) versions, and is divided into four parts: (1) for the services on week-days; (2) for Shabbat; (3) for the three festivals Pesaḥ, Shabu'ot, and Sukkot; (4) for the two great holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; together with an appendix containing notes on the liturgy, the reading of the Torah, and directions and formulas for writing betrothal and marriage contracts.
The collection is more complete in German and Polish melodies than in Portuguese. Occasionally a fourth version is appended, called by the compiler Neue Weise, but this seems to be his own composition or that of other contemporaneous cantors. Cantors can find therein all traditional tunes of the synagogue — most of which were theretofore to be acquired orally from older ḥazanim alone. Many of the more familiar melodies had been collected and published before Baer by Solomon Sulzer and Hirsch Weintraub; and melody No. 714, p. 160, is found even in a work published in the eighteenth century by Benedetto Marcello, called Estro Poetico Armonico, in which it appears under the head of Intonazione degli Ebrei Spagnuoli.
