Biography
Blau was educated at three different yeshivot in the Kingdom of Hungary, among them that of Presburg. In 1880–1888, he was a student at the Rabbinical Seminary of Budapest (Landesrabbinerschule, now the Budapest University of Jewish Studies). At the same time, he studied philosophy and Oriental studies at the University of Budapest, where he earned a Ph.D. degree cum laude in 1887, and the diploma at the Rabbinical Seminary in 1888.
In 1887, Blau became a teacher of Talmudic literature at the Rabbinical Seminary of Budapest; in 1888 he served there as a substitute professor, and in 1889 as professor of the Hebrew Bible, the languages of Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Talmud. Beginning in 1899, he became a librarian and tutor in Jewish history.
In 1902, Blau became president of the folklore section of the Jewish–Hungarian Literary Society, editor of the Magyar Zsido Szemle, and a contributor to the Jewish Encyclopedia (1906). He died in 1936.
